Review
"A wonderfully broad, knowing, and narratively compelling look at human goodness as it has been tested by life this book will give us the very best kind of moral and spiritual education." Robert Coles, author of The Moral Life of Children
Review
"What a rich compendium, a vade mecum for every day of the year! Where else could one find a famed modern theologian side by side with a first century woman, a Christian Zen monk near a Quaker artist, a mystic of the Holocaust and then a desert hermit? A wise and generous book." Daniel Berrigan, author of Isaiah
