A SOUL NURTURING BOOK!!!
Roberta Bondi brings the rich tradition of the early Church fathers and mothers into the 20th century, and invites us to learn anew what it means to love. I particularly liked what she has to say about the concepts of "perfection" and "humility." She writes in a very engaging manner, making it easy to not only understand her writing, but sparking the desire to live it out. A wonderful read ...

In touch with God and Self outdoors
Being an outdoor person, I was drawn to this book by the cover (I know, don't judge a book by its cover), but I was. I have been outdoors before, and come close to what I thought was death, but was pulled through by the grace of God. Night on the Flint River : An Accidental Journey in Knowing God is Roberta Bondi's experience of just such an event. she has a powerful way of relating lifes ...

A Place to Pray: Reflections on the Lord's Prayer

Inciteful and thought-provoking
I am using this book and the accompanying video series in a class that I am teaching on the Lord's Prayer. The fifteen women participants in the class have found the book to be extremely helpful in opening up new meanings, layers of meanings to this prayer whose very repetition often renders it meaningless. My class and I have thoroughly enjoyed this book- and we're looking to study another ...

Being Found while Finding God
I would recommend Ms. Bondi's book, Memories of God, to anyone who has struggled with disconnections between their experiences and the accepted wisdom of society and traditional Christianity's view of God. This book will be especially meaningful to women who grew up in the 1950's and 60's, when women's dependence on men was no longer biological, i.e. due to physical strength or the need for a ...

Great book
This book was recommended to me when we lost our beloved cat suddenly and unexpectedly. It is a very well written story of a theologian and church historian who is also a cat lover. She is adopted by a very unusual stray cat, the title Nick. She details her family's life with this cat until his death. The anecdotes of Nick's life are hilarious and his behavior is definitely un-cat-like. She ...

help for healing of the past
Bondi writes as if she were writing a letter to a good friend, you, the reader. Her information on re-visiting past hurts and bringing healing to them was invaluable. I would recommend this to anyone who finds themself strangely sensitive to certain issues and wants to explore the possibility that internal workings need to be thought about and healed.

Prayer as an Instrument of Love
This was an excellent book on the power of prayer and its importance in the pursuit of love for God and neighbor. Bondi takes the reader on a journey through prayer in the early church and monastic orders to give the modern Christian a sense of how prayer can be used in the pursuit of a deeper relationship with God and neighbor. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper ...
