Marin's book is a reflection of the work of his Marin Foundation, which seeks to build a bridge between the GLBT community and communities of faith. Himself heterosexual, Marin urges these communities to approach each other without an insistence that either "side" yield up cherished beliefsfor him, the distinctive mark of the Christian is love, not judgment. Many readers will find his simple insights transformative.
Sweeney (assoc. publisher, Paraclete; "Light in the Dark Ages: The Friendhip of Francis and Clare of Assisi") has written what is far from the first and will be far from the last work in a popular subgenre in contemporary spiritual writing: the touristic glimpse into cloister life. Here he details talks with Cistercian and Benedictine monks at monasteries nationwide. Slight but charming, his contribution should find readers among those who enjoy Thomas Merton's writings or Philip Grning's documentary film "Into Great Silence".
