Book excerpt: In The Restoration Project, the Rev. Christopher H. Martin explores Saint Benedict's twelve steps of humility, revealing how this ancient guide leads to wisdom, strength, and love. Martin invites us to imagine how we are like Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, The Last Supper. Years of restoration revealed the beauty and clarity of the masterpiece. Likewise, if we are willing to undergo a restoration, we can return to who we truly are, created by the hand of the Master. The book weaves prayer, poetry, and art with contemporary stories of brokenness, joy, and discovery to guide the reader to a place of spiritual renewal.
