The Enemies of Love / Abbot Aelred Watkin

This classic work of advice to young people in the early 1950's was re-issued by popular demand. It deals in a fresh and open way with the painful urgencies of love and passion for the teenager or young adult. Those who love at any age will find help and wisdom in these pages.

Abbot Aelred Watkin was one of the most loved and most respected monks in the Benedictine Order. The two most conspicuous features of his character - a deep spirituality combined with an infectious love of life - are encapsulated in one of his favourite quotations from William Blake: "Everything that lives is holy; life delights in life."
