This review is from: The Small Things: A Day in the Life of Brother James E Small, Sj (Paperback)

i have never met br. small but through this book i got a good sense of who he is...the author took an interesting approach as essentially a fly on the wall who could ask questions as br. small went through a day at loyola academy...the book was a page-turner and therefore a quick read...it is worth purchasing

Who would've thought a book about a Jesuit brother could be so interesting. It reads like a novel. I know the subject personally. He is wonderful and sets a great example for each of us. He is a fine man and a great Jesuit.
