Omschrijving
The Brother John 2021 Wall Calendar features 13, full color, original oil paintings from multiple award-winning artist, Glenn Harrington.
Originally commissioned for August Turak's Templeton Prize winning book, Brother John: A Monk, a Pilgrim, and the Purpose of Life, these moving works of art are set in the magnificent Trappist monastery of Mepkin Abbey. Paintings from Turak's best selling book have been carefully chosen to reflect the changing seasons and are suitable for framing at year's end.
The Brother John 2021 Wall Calendar includes significant Christian and secular holidays; generous space for noting important dates and schedules; and bonus art and months--January through April 2022--for additional planning. In today's increasingly frenetic and hectic world, this exquisite calendar is guaranteed to keep you prayerfully focused and inspired throughout the year.
August Turak is a successful entrepreneur, corporate executive and award-winning author who attributes much of his success to living and working alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey since 1996. As a frequent monastic guest, he learned firsthand from the monks as they grew an incredibly successful portfolio of businesses. Service and selflessness are at the heart of the 1,500-year-old monastic tradition's remarkable business success. It is an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions. Combining case studies from his thirty-year business career with intimate portraits of the monks at work, Turak shows how Trappist principles can be successfully applied to secular business settings and to our personal lives as well. He demonstrates that monks, people like Warren Buffett and other "transformational organizations" are successful not despite their high principles but because of them. He lives in North Carolina.
