Excellent!

I received the book in excellent condition. Thank you. I'm looking forward to reading it. Just haven't had time yet. However, I am acquainted with Sandra Schneider's writings and retreats, therefore I know I'm in for some good theological reading! Sister Rose Therese

Her focus on consecrated chastity as the key vow makes absolute sense--both theoretically and practically. Her description of religious life as meaning a life of self-gift to Christ also makes more sense than any other theory or argument I have heard to date. Her writing is clear even when she deals with difficult concepts. She gives many examples to elucidate what she means. Her discussion of the types of community life that can be lived "in community" is also fabulous. I cannot recommend this book enough.
