Brady addresses the main themes in fundamental moral theology for a novel perspective. Rather than relying solely on traditional sources such as natural law theory, abstract philosophical principles, or popular theories of the individual, he focuses on biblical stories, an emphasis on experience, and the social\/relational spheres of human life. Our own sense of morality, Brady reminds us, emerges not out of a vacuum, but out of the experience and narratives of lived reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for the high school or college classroom, or indeed, for any reader interested in a refreshing take on moral decision-making, \u003cem\u003eBe Good and Do Good\u003c\/em\u003e reminds us that we are each called to develop and nurture our own moral identity throughout our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernard V.

We need to be present to the present while it is still present. To live fully each moment with undivided attention and mindfulness is the challenge; tomorrow may never come because everything is fleeting.

Both Robert Ellsberg and Sister Wendy Beckett are brilliantly verbal so their reflections on almost any topic are provocative, touching, incisive, and frequently hilarious. But the chief delight of this wonderful book comes when all that brilliant conversation becomes something quite different, something far more fitting for a contemplative religious and a chronicler of saints. \u003cem\u003eDearest Sister Wendy…\u003c\/em\u003e is—finally—a love story.

Day’s spirituality was deeply influenced by the “Little Way” of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, which showed the path to holiness in the daily exercise of patience, charity, and forgiveness. Dorothy extended this principle to the social dimension, the significance of the little protests we make or fail to make.

Over time, as our hearts are gently disarmed, we begin to look and love more like Jesus, and to trust the peace he promised.

He did not believe in God, but he believed in “love and truth and compassion.” John replied that those are all names for God, and they agreed that they would speak of Universal Love. From this beginning, John discovered a new understanding of spirituality, and his own life of peacemaking as an exercise in “surrendering to the God of Peace.” In short reflections, he outlines what this means, offers practical exercises, and shows how this might lead us more deeply into the meaning of discipleship in a world of violence and conflict.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eRev.
