"I have read the taught this book so many times now and every time I do I find something new and wonderful about it. It is of course, a great way to study mid-century American religious history, which is why I teach it, but my secret is that I include it in my classes because I like reading it again and again. Day's commitment to social justice and self sacrifice is obviously inspirational and particularly relevant at the moment, but her articulation of her religious struggles is what keeps me devoted to this text. Even though as a Jew, I can't really relate to her Christ-centered worldview, her writing has so much to offer anyone who has ever wrestled with what God demands of us, and with what we, in turn, demand from Her/Him."
"This is a reread for me. I read it ten years ago and I think I like it for different reasons this time around. Dorothy Day was instrumental in beginning the Catholic Worker Movement. She inspired me to do more from my comfortable suburban house. I think if she were alive today we would be on different sides of many issues but would love to invite her to dinner."
"Brilliant and moving. Any fan of service or community would be doing themselves a favor by reading this. In the same vein of 'Seven Storey Mountain' by Thomas Merton. If you enjoy this try reading Coles' biography or his text 'The Call of Service.'"
"I am forever fascinated by the Catholic Worker movement and a big fan of Day. She had a way of seeing things--and certainly a faith--that I admire. This is one I pick up now and again to remind myself of what's important."
