Summary: A moving and deeply reverent account and life example
Comment: Written by Carol Bonomo, a Benedictine oblate (a person vowed to live according to the fourth-century Rule) and the award-winning author of "The Abbey Up The Hill," Humble Pie: St. Benedict's Ladder Of Humility is a deeply faithful Christian memoir that critically examines today's "me-first" society that embraces pride and rejects humility, arguably to a destructive degree. Detailing the author's life and experiences in search of sacrifice, pentecost, and learning to open one's heart to God, Humble Pie is an inspirational modern-day presentation of spiritual principles well over a thousand years old. A moving and deeply reverent account and life example.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!
Comment: I liked Bonomo's first book a lot - Abby Up the Hill - but I couldn't put this one down. The author has a voice and a passion. She uses them to speak for all of us. She has put a human face on the universal pursuit of peace, serenity and the life well-lived, and she has drawn us a road map on how to achieve these things. Everyone can understand the directions and tap into it at some level.
She is a gifted writer, and she is very, very funny.

Summary: We All Need a Silce of Humble Pie
Comment: I certainly wouldn't expect to read a book on a subject like humility -- and even less, find it enjoyable. But this is a memoir of faith that begins with the Rule of St. Benedict and his 12 steps of humility and includes the author's experiences with AA's 12 steps, and her life as a Benedictine oblate, practicing Catholic and former Episcopalian. She starts out wondering what humility looks like and wonders if it is anything she would want, and ends up with answers to both questions that satisfy her and the reader as well. The only spiritual book I have read where a ukulele has a supporting role.
