By Little and by Little: The Selected Writings of Dorothy Day
Published in Hardcover by Knopf (1983)

A call to radical Christianity
A collection of Day's writing, it's a fascinating read, and one would hope a call to conversion for those who fail to see Christ in all around them, especially in the poor. Remember, we are told not to judge and to give freely to all who ask. Think about that the next time you're approached by a panhandler.

A different perspective on the 80's in the Castro
Dorothy Bryant gave me something to think about. Most of us living in the San Francisco area have heard both extreme sides of the debates over the gays in the Castro. Some have glorified the 80's as the coming out period; others have verbally attacked the gays as being the first signs of the end of the age. Dorothy's book focuses on this time in San Francisco with a mother and a son. The son is a gay man living in the Castro. The mother grew up in the 60s and was a radical herself growing up. The conversations between the two and the musings of the mother are another interesting picture in this maelstrom of a time and a place. I would recommend reading it - not for changing viewpoints as much as providing yet another viewpoint together with the ones existing in the media.

This book helps me get through each day more easily.
I love this book. It is written by one of the greatest men of the Twentieth Century, and one of its most beloved. The thing that is so pleasing about this book is that one can read each day as it comes along, and still read this like a great novel that really happens. it is as relevant today, actually more so, as it was in 1962. This has to be one of the most underappreciated books of the last half-century. I will admit, I am a Catholic, but Pope John meant for this book to read and profited from by all Christians-remember, he kept repeating, "Ut unum sint"-"That they may be one", as he neared his passing. this book may be the true key to Christian reunification. So whether you are Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist or Baptist, it would do you good to pick up this great tome. It will amke life easier...if you really listen.

Excellent for Anyone Starting a Day Care Center
I'm in the middle of opening a day care center and this book was great. It contained alot of useful information and I constantly referenced the manual throughout the process. It contained all the forms that you will need from hiring, registration to immunizations. It is a must have.


A Harsh and Dreadful Love: Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement
Published in Hardcover by W.W. Norton & Company (1973)
Author: William D., Miller
Amazon base price: $9.95
Used price: $12.00
Average review score:

History of the most significant movement of the 20th c.
I first learned about the Catholic Worker when I stumbled across a copy of the newspaper in a dorm lounge while I was still in college. The front page included a story about St Julian of Norwich and how she was one of the first mystics to view God as both Father and Mother. I don't remember if this was before or after I had made the decision to become Catholic, but it stuck with me.

The Catholic Worker has managed to continue to haunt my life. The priest who welcomed me into the church was/is deeply involved with the Los Angeles Catholic Worker, although I found my way there independently of his influence--in fact the first time I met him there was a bit of a surprise. My first visit to the LACW also turned up a friend from college, surprisingly enough.

The Catholic Worker differed from other liberal Christian movements in that for them, religion was not merely something on which to hang a liberal doctrine. Rather, there doctrine flowed out of the spring of religion, and has a depth that other groups which I have worked with lacked.

This book gives an accounting of the history of the movement from its founding by Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day until the early seventies. Always a fascinating story, this accounting is a bit drier than the others since it places a bit of distance between itself and its subject (as opposed to Rosalie Troester's Voices from the Catholic Worker which is as close to the subject as can be

accomplished). Still, as a comprehensive account, it does a lot to help establish the broader contexts of many of the events in the history of the Catholic Worker.

An interesting note for the hagiographers: The parallels between the development of the Catholic Worker and the early years of the Franciscans are astounding.
