Just Wonderful

Dreyer confronts the tendency within the Catholic church to see spirituality as something for priests and nuns. Most saints wear priests or nuns and there are few role models for lay people. She offers background and ideas on how those who don't were habits can live their faith more fully each day in the office, the voting booth, the kitchen and the mall. At times she refers to religious figures or theologians I had no knowledge of and she didn't provide an explanation of their work or significance, but that is the only shortcoming. It's still worth reading. Moreover, it's a book I'll probably read two or three times and buy for friends.
