Radical Hospitality: Benedict's Way of Lovestar rating 5Rev. James M. Evans, Jr.February 28, 2011I read one quote from this book and decided to explore the source of the comment further. I called Paraclete Press and did order both book and study guide. We are going to use the book and the study guide for a Lenten study here in our congregation. The book is a farily easy read but there's a lot of goodness in these pages. It would be a good read for the Lenten season whether one uses it for a study group or not.
Radical Hospitality: Benedict's Way of Lovestar rating 5Mary SchumerJanuary 24, 2011I have been a Benedictine Oblate for many years and some of my friends are now interested in becoming Oblates. In an attempt to find great books on this topic for them, I surfed the internet and discovered that the Paraclete Press had a wide selection of books available. Radical Hospitality has awakened in me a very deep and vibrant understanding of Benedictine spirituality that heretofore I have never understood so clearly. In my mind, it would be very difficult (if not impossible) to write a book like this leaving behind the footprints of love, clarity, and a desire to serve without having lived it first. This is a marvelous book!
Radical Hospitality: Benedict's Way of Lovestar rating 5R. Scott McCordAugust 8, 2009We are all suseptable to a certain social blindness where we find ourselves living in the world without really seeing others. We see them, of course, but do we really see them and do they really matter? Benedict's call to radical hospitality helps to remind us to keep more than our eyes open. This book is a gentle reminder to always keep our hearts open for the business of Love.
