Review

Here are thirteen Catholics who believe in the Incarnation. They find God in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily life—not away from or in spite of it. The monks and the mystics have been at spiritual reflection for centuries. Now it is time for the rest of us to speak up. (Gregory F. Augustine Pierce )

This review is from: Professions of Faith: Living and Working as a Catholic (The Come & See Series) (Paperback)

As a Catholic, I have been waiting for a book like this for a long time. The two editors have gathered together a great group of active Catholics who speak about the way that they live out their faith in the "working world"--whether it be as a lawyer, businessperson, doctor, writer, spouse, parent, and so on. It really gave me a new way of looking at my faith and at my work. I've recommended it to so many people already.
