Monk Manual

Monk Manual and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR) are collaborating to create tools that help men and women awaken to God’s presence in their lives.
Tools for the Journey
In this Poco A Poco podcast episode, the Friars introduce their collaboration with our team here at Monk Manual. They discuss the importance of self-knowledge as a primary step in the spiritual journey, and how the tools we've built together can support one's interior journey from self-knowledge to self-acceptance, to self-possession, and to ultimately self-gift.
