pickI‘m not very religious but I feel the author offers some very practical advice here, much of it based on humbling experiences from her own life. It‘s still hard to believe the scathing remarks she was subjected to simply because she called for compassion.
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.
