The book is good for personal reflection and enrichment. This is also a good book in the hand of formators and those who are involved in spiritual direction. Definitely this book will also find enough resources for conferences, talks on religious topics, and resources for group building. Indeed, this book will throw light on what religious life is all about. The canvas of religious life drawn by many may vary, but the author of this book draws the picture of religious life as seen, observed and studied. It is the real religious life that one can see, in flesh and blood!
Even a casual perusal will reveal that God wants to learn from the past and make necessary amendments for future of religious life. The founders of various congregations fashioned the religious life as they visualized it, but today we need to live in the present-day context with its challenges. We need to live it today!
The stories that are narrated almost on every page is about true situations, which will compel every reader to go through the pages after pages without getting bored or suffocated. I have read it more than once and admired the presentation and direct approach. Definitely, it can help anyone to have a glimpse of the radical love behind our commitment and make our religious life an inspiration for many. It is said that “today the leaders are watched more than listened to.” Dear reader, you are being watched! What are you waiting for, preach with your life and action!
