This volume of "Is It Possible to Live this Way", a translation of Luigi Giussani's "Si Puo Vivere Cosi?", addresses the virtue of charity. A compilation of Giussani's conversations with young people who have chosen the path of the consecrated life in the Church - that is, have chosen to live their lives in the world according to the 'evangelical counsels' of poverty, chastity, and obedience - it proposes an unusual yet reasonable approach to living as a Christian. As in all his works, Giussani encourages young people to be serious about their own existence and loyal to their experience. The conversations reported here are fascinating and insightful, providing support for a way of life that today is frequently questioned, rejected, or censured.

This review is from: Is It Possible to Live This Way?: Charity, an Unusual Approach to Christian Existence (Paperback)
This is a great book (I have all three of the complete "Is it Possible to Live this Way" - Charity, Faith and Hope)Don Giussani has a really unique way of writing/speaking and these are great study materials to contemplate our spiritual lives. I started off with Giussani's "The Religious Sense" which is a bit confusing if you have never read his works before. I found "Is it Possible to Live This Way" much easier to read as it is a retreat. At the end of each section, there is an "Assembly" with the students questions and answers. His approach to Christian spirituality is so simple and logical. This is a great read for anyone (high school and up)
