Customer Reviews

Great teacher, great book

I was lucky enough to know Father Lavin personally. He was my high school art teacher and had a profound impact on me. The advice he offers here would be hard to take if you did not know how long and hard he fought for the inspiration. He was a man of hidden depths and you can enjoy them here.

Making sense of Life

"Life Meditations" by Edward J Lavin SJ is a delightful book that will appeal to all those people who try to make sense of their life experiences. Father Lavin combines a down-to-earth style of writing with the use of carefully chosen pictures to produce a series of reflections that speak to the heart. In each case the picture helps to reinforce the reflection. The pictures selected by Father Lavin are all prints of known and loved works of art, and so their aesthetic appeal is to a wide range of tastes. "Life Meditations" is a book well worth reading, but it needs to be read slowly with time allowed for reflection. It is the sort of book that can be a companion through life.
