Description
In this guidebook Dorothy Day offers hard-earned wisdom and practical advice gained through decades of seeking to know Jesus and to follow his example and teachings in her own life.
Unlike larger collections and biographies, which cover her radical views, exceptional deeds, and amazing life story, this book focuses on a more personal dimension of her life: Where did she receive strength to stay true to her God-given calling despite her own doubts and inadequacies and the demands of an activist life? What was the unquenchable wellspring of her deep faith and her love for humanity?
Advance Praise
"This thoughtful collection of Day’s reflections incorporates abundant material for contemplation, all drawn from her extensive writings … [which] reveal Day’s signature honesty and frequent humor in addressing her hopes and fears and the sources of her inspiration…. This welcome compilation provides a window into the fundamental beliefs that undergirded Day’s life of faith." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

I am reviewing a copy of The Reckless Way of Love through Plough Publishing and Netgalley:
This book covers a more personal dimension of her life and faith while larger collections and biographies which cover radical views and exceptional deeds.
Where did she receive the strength to stay true to her calling despite her own doubts and feelings of inadequacy as well as the demands of an activists life?
In this book we learn how she took the examples of Jesus and applied them in our own lives.
I give The Reckless Way of Love five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
