I found Mary Lou's memoir very helpful and enjoyable. I was impressed with her total devotion to the cause of peace and enjoyed her insights into forgiveness and love, brought to life in stories about the people she met each day in the inner city.

An 'urban monk' offers up meditations on dying, living, and religious sense in A MONK IN THE INNER CITY: THE ABCS OF A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. Juxtaposing spiritual insights with the input of others in society, Mary Lou Kownacki's survey is an excellent addition to any spirituality library, especially those offering meditations for change.
