The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage
by
Paul Elie
About this title: In the mid-twentieth Century, four American Catholics discovered that the best way to explore the questions of religious faith was to write about them. "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" is their story, a vivid and enthralling account of great writers and their power over us. Paul Erie tells these writers' story as a pilgrimage from the God-obsessed literary past of Dante and Dostoevsky out into the thrilling chaos of postwar American life.

By Jeremy ,
The United States
"This wonderful book chronicles the lives of four twentieth-century Catholic luminaries: Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Walker Percy, and Flannery O'Connor. Elie is one of the best writers I have read in a very long time. His prose is so clean and compelling. The book not only details these four fascinating lives and the connections among them but sets out the cultural context, dwelling within probably about fifty to seventy-five years of the last century. The book reignited my always-smoldering fondness for Flannery O'Connor and taught me much about the other figures as well. Certainly this book deserves at least a second reading, and maybe more."

"Absolutely marvelous interweaving of the four lives. Surprisingly gripping despite its length. A very substantial, meaty book that challenges the reader to examine their mode of living. Inspirational in the deepest sense of the word."

"Another book about spiritual seeking in 20th century America, this time braiding the stories of four writers, Dorothy Day, Walker Percy, Flannery O'Conner, and Thomas Merton. Lots of food for thought."
