This book was given to me years ago as a gift from a fellow LibraryThing member. It‘s not until now that I started reading this memoir, but reading about Reb Albert Lewis is turning into a comfort read for me during these turbulent times.
pickA memoir rather than a traditional biography, but nonetheless a great story about an amazing man. I read this when I was in college over 20 years ago and felt compelled to revisit Morrie. Mitch Albom is a great story teller and the way he captures Morrie‘s warmth and wisdom makes it feel like you‘re sitting in the room with them. Book #29 in 2025
pickI‘ve been listening to this a chapter a day for the last few weeks and enjoyed it. As @Lcsmcat said it‘s more of a memoir than an instruction manual but I liked the stories. I‘m almost always interested in stories of women in power and how they got there. I wish she would do an update for the year 2025.

pickMore a memoir than an instruction manual, but a heartening and inspiring book for our times. #BeBrave Thanks for coming along for the ride @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk
so-soThe Abbey, by James Martin(2015)
Premise: Two suburbanites are drawn into the life of a local monastery.
Review: A good effort at fiction by a popular nonfiction writer, but this probably should have stayed a nonfiction ‘monasticism for dummies‘ book.

How‘s everyone doing with this? I‘m six chapters in, and I think the title might have been more accurate if it were Learning to Be Brave. I‘m enjoying reading about Bishop Budde‘s journey, but I was hoping for more practical advice, I guess. Thoughts? #BeBrave @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk
For everything you criticize, I challenge you to offer at least one suggestion for making it better.”
