“Rene extracts precious lessons from tough experiences, andnsummatizes them into powerful one liners. Practically every page is packed with large doses of wisdom, the kind distilled from life’s suffering. His insights and resolutions – highly spiritual and at the same time realistically down-to-earth-are disarming and unpretentious, but also bold and challenging. His points of reference are largely Scripture based or frawn from the spirituality of unity of Chiara Lubich and he weaves them into present day realities in a way that injects the drama of real life into catechesis, and gives evengelizations on upbeat ring to it.” Ray Asper Central Council, Focolare Movement Rome, Italy
