Wild and Robust: The Adventures of Christian Humanism by William McNamara

Sixteen months ago at the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, CA, I met Father William (Willie) McNamara, a fellow retreatant. He invited my family and me to stay for two weeks at his Corpus Christi Hermitage in New Pine Creek, OR, which we did last August. So, I have come to know him well. "Wild and Robust" represents the culmination of Father Willie's work as an author. In it, he summarizes and refines material from his previous books, and also adds new material, such as in the chapter on "meeting." The fruition of a long and holy life, "Wild and Robust" brims with eloquent wisdom. If I could own only one book by William McNamara, this would be it. Father Willie de-mystifies mysticism, making it accessible to every person on an experiential level. Wisely, he does not negate our vital energy, but teaches us to know God by becoming "disciplined" wild men. Thus, I have grown more aware of God's nearness and come to appreciate the central importance of contemplation as a way of being. I recommend this book!
