Associated Press0

YANKTON, S.D. (AP) — The book of a South Dakota nun and retired college history professor that explores Benedictine history has been reissued.

“Benedictine Men And Women Of Courage: Roots And History” was written by Sister Ann Kessler, a Benedictine nun and member of the Sacred Heart Monastery in Yankton. The first edition was published in 1996.

Kessler tells the Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan ( ) that she felt a revised version of the book had to be issued because there’s still a demand for it. She says she found copies online selling for up to $500 each when she was only charging $30 apiece.

The 480-page book looks at 1,500 years of Benedictine history. Kessler says the revised version includes new material that wasn’t available when it was first printed.
