Choosing to live, February 7, 2009

By	J. P. Reynolds (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

The sub-title, lessons in the art of living, speaks to what this luminous book is all about. The stories and profiles are of people just like you or me. People who quietly live and love, and then come to a moment in their life for which there is no preparation. In that moment, they are forced to choose--do I or do I not become the hero of my own life?
Some might liken these to "profiles in courage," yet I suspect that the people profiled would not lay claim to the word "courage." They are people who simply embrace the desire to choose. They are women and men who, with faith and hope, "dive" into the mystery of life and love.
While reading this book I wondered if I could live, will I live, as those profiled have chosen to live--tapping into the best and bravest of who they are.
The book cheers, confuses, and astonishes. It reminds us that the arbitrary and the seemingly senseless do not have to define who we are and who we will become.
If I could have only ten books in my library, this would be would one of them.
