Reviews

"This anthology contains many excellent, well-written, and original essays that examine the leadership values and daily experiences of the Catholic Worker movement. Most notable are the pieces describing the personal and concrete dimensions of local Catholic Worker communities outside of New York. They offer wonderful insight into the promise of open and apostolic Catholic community and begin to fill a long-noted gap in Worker History." --David O'Brien, Holy Cross College "A very significant book. The essays tell in their different ways an inspiring and important story for anyone seriously interested in our common human destiny." --Lawrence F. Barmann, St. Louis University "A veritable treasury of information for all who would like to know the who, how, when, and why of a movement with a heart big enough to make room for all who come through the door." --Virginia Baron, editor, Fellowship, the magazine of the Fellowship of Reconciliation
