Introduction:
In the heart of New York City, a group of monks find themselves facing an impossible decision: their two-century-old monastery is threatened with demolition to make way for a new high-rise development. As the monks grapple with the impending loss of their sacred home, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of modern life and the corrupting influence of money.
Commandments Broken:
The monks' struggle to save their monastery takes them on a journey that tests their faith and loyalty to one another. They break not only the first Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Steal," but also the Commandments that prohibit killing, lying, and adultery. They resort to desperate measures to protect their monastery, including sneaking into construction sites and stealing construction materials.
Comedy and Heartbreak:
Despite the dire circumstances, BROTHERS KEEPERS is a master class in comedy. The monks' interactions with the developers, the politicians, and the media are hilarious and often poignant. The book is filled with witty banter, clever one-liners, and hilarious situations that will have readers laughing out loud. At the same time, the book also explores the deeper themes of loss, temptation, and how we treat our fellow man.
Conclusion:
In the end, the monks' struggle to save their monastery is a testament to the power of faith and the resilience of the human spirit. Despite the odds, they are able to rally together and find a way to preserve their sacred home. BROTHERS KEEPERS is a touching and inspiring story that reminds us of the importance of community, faith, and the pursuit of justice.
