I love this book and since I never read non-fiction, you know it must be good

I have been thinking recently about all of the things we must hold in tension in our lives as Christians, and when reading The Life You Save May Be Your Own, I was struck by these quotes from the saints, paraphrased by Dorothy Day.

“When things get tough, I like to recall St. Teresa’s ‘Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.’ And from the way she wrote about her adventures, she agreed also with St. Catherine of Siena, who said: ‘All the way to heaven is heaven, for He said, I am the Way.’”

I'll put this on my list...you are a crazing reading woman! :) I would never be able to put "books I've read this year" on my sidebar because people would question if I really did even know how to read. way to go!
