李 子光 1015981935c511 — If you haven't read Giussani, this is NOT the place to begin to understand the charism of Communion and Liberation (CL). Giussani founded CL, a movement within the Catholic Church in 1954, and this book is the conclusion of a trilogy that begins with Faith (vol 1) and Hope (vol 2). Reading this book throws the newcomer into the maelstrom just as it's reaching maximum speed; furthermore, the entire "Is It Possible" trilogy is a lightly edited, *translated* transcript of Giussani's talks with Memores Domini, members of CL who live in the world but have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Memores are essentially non-ordained monks and plain-clothes nuns with jobs, living communally in one-sex households and dedicated to Christ. If you still want to learn about CL and Giussani, this is a great time to pick up "The Religious Sense," a core book in the CL canon that starts from first principles. CL "Schools of Community" around the world are taking up "The Religious Sense" this winter, and you can get in step.

Erica Schofield _mccoy1 — This is one of the most captivating studies in human nature I’ve read in quite some time. I highly recommend it. Clay Carter is a hard-working guy at the DC public defender’s office. He’s been there five years as this book opens, and he’s about to get a murder case in spite of his experience at ducking them. This turns out to be anything but a routine street drug murder in what is arguably the most simultaneously tragic and triumphant city in the nation. Young Tequila Watson is no stranger to violence, but he abhors committing violence on others. He was a cocaine addict until he was thrust into a last-chance rehabilitation facility. All that is public knowledge, and it’s knowledge that Clay Carter comes by easily enough. What Clay doesn’t know initially is that Tequila Watson was secretly medicated in the rehabilitation facility with a drug designed to destroy forever his addiction to cocaine. It worked. But it had one rather unfortunate side effect. It drove some of its users to mindlessly commit murder. They were quite literally driven to kill by forces unleashed by the drug. That’s the part Clay Carter learns later. He is approached by a mysterious man who has information about the drug—information that, if used in a lawsuit against the drug’s manufacturer, could result in a huge settlement for the lawyer bright and alert enough to take the case. When Clay Carter reaches that fateful crossroad in his life—the one in which he must decide between integrity and money—he opts for the money. The case against the drug company is settled quickly. The victims of the several people murdered by those who took the drug are, if not eager, then at least resigned to accept the settlement money Clay is able to get for them. Clay Carter’s dizzying journey from anonymity and relative poverty to dazzling riches and being crowned the king of torts by his colleagues is an entirely believable one. Grisham in his always interesting style crafts that journey in such a way that even the most uninformed among us regarding the legal system can see the path poor Clay Carter takes. The romantic subplot here merely serves to further show the contrasts between the decent public defender and the money-grubbing greedy shallow Clay Carter who buys fancy houses, fancy airplanes, and who salts away huge chunks of money offshore. At one point in the book, Clay gets a forlorn letter from Tequila Watson, whose case he abruptly abandoned to take on his new life of wealth and power—a letter Clay doesn’t even bother to answer. But as Clay’s former attorney father warns him, the greed catches up to him. Just as Clay’s ascent into the rarified air of wealth and accolades is dizzying and dazzling, so his descent into financial ruin is equally breathtaking. This is also a damning portrait of the legal system and its quest for power and money sometimes at the expense of ordinary folk who know little or nothing about how it works. So well is Clay Carter’s character developed that even in his shallowest and worst, some part of your heart remains with him; some part of you hopes for his redemption, even though such redemption seems remotely possible at best throughout much of the book. There is a gripping immediacy to this book that you usually find in high-drama suspense stories. There’s really nothing suspenseful about the book, but you’ll be riveted by its fast-moving plot nonetheless. It’s a plot I found highly believable and remarkably devoid of the need for tangential explanations of the legal system to the uninformed such as I am. It’s so well written that you won’t get lost in any legal minutia; and yet, it is a tale of such intricacy that you will come away thoroughly impressed at this author’s ability to weave its components together into a truly fascinating and thoughtful study in character, in human nature, in the concept of a fall and that fall’s accompanying need for redemption.

Martin Garrihy martingarrihy — Wow, for a rather outdated large book, with subject matter you would think was dry and boring...this book was the best US history I have ever read, or been taught all through school. It tells the truth about our history, rather than the normal rant we all are taught. For instance, Columbus is no hero, but a murderer who massacres entire populations of islands. The book starts with Columbus and ends with terrorism in the 2000s. It was hard for me to read the criticisms of Carter and Clinton, but I do believe this author, who pulled no punches. Read this one.

Eugenia Dorn _endorn — Working in fund-raising, I often see and hear inspiring speakers. Dr. Jerry Lowney spoke at a recent conference I attended, and I bought his book then. It both speaks of a man's inspiration to give,to help, and to care, and of the incredibly sad situation of poverty in Haiti.

Thinkology Ltd mcbroomraymond19 — This is an amazing book. Full of surprises and a great female friendship. Highly recommend!
