Three Religious Rebels

Three Religious Rebels brings the facts about the founders of the monastery at Citeaux to life by using known facts and incorporating them in novel form. It is a most entertaining and informative look at the beginnings of the Cistercian (Trappist) Order of Monks. Saints Robert, Alberic, and Stephen are portrayed as very real men. There story is as compulsive a read as I have experienced. I would highly reccommend it to anyone interested in the pioneer spirit in men driven by ideals, presented in a very appealing, emotionally wringing setting.
