Reviews
Serving the Word reveals Cantalamessa's spiritual integrity, humility, willingness to change, and the human goodness that, one suspects, is a legacy of his impoverished childhood in rural Italy. It is a model of autobiographical reflection, implicitly showing the reader how to examine one's life through the prism of grace. His abundant gratitude and the loving descriptions of the people and ideas that shaped his life make this excellent spiritual reading. --Catholic Library World
