"The Way to Love"

The book group selected this short book for our latest perusal. Goodie, I thought, a short easy read! Wrong-Oh! Short, maybe, but it seems every word brings a pause, a thought, a challenge, a need to pray, or think, before launching back into the text. Textually easy to follow, almost like Fr. de Mello is sitting across the room speaking the words in person. Yes, it's that personal; and certainly a challenge to absorb and process. But that's appropriate and, given the subject, the only way one might travel through this small, compact, but weighty little book.
