Reviews
As usual with Michael Casey's books, The Road to Eternal Life is a treasure of monastic wisdom made accessible to people of today, in lay or monastic life. It doesn't sacrifice depth but gives the reader the strong meat necessary to grow in the spiritual life. Christine Fletcher, Benedictine University, Lisle, IL, Recently I asked Brother Patrick Hart of Gethsemani who was the best writer of our times. He said, you mean, after Merton? I said, yes. Who would be the best of my generation? He replied, without hesitation, Michael Casey, OCSO. Brother Patrick went on to say, he writes with clarity and depth. Reading this new book on the Prologue of the Rule of Benedict confirms Brother Patrick's affirmation. Meg Funk, OSB, Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech Grove, Indiana
