Perhaps some of you might be looking for some inspiration of a spiritual sort. We all need an infusion of wisdom to broaden our horizons, lift our spirits and center our beings. May I suggest FATHER JOE by Tony Hendra. Hendra is a well regarded comedian who maintained a long-time relationship with a remarkable monk on the Isle of Wight. The book is amusing as well as quite profound. Fathe Joe (the monk) teaches us all the lesson of humility.
Another remarkable book is NEARER MY GOD TO THEE by William F. Buckley Jr. It is clearly some reflections of a very personal nature of one who is facing death with equinimity but not before he imparts a little of the wisdom he has gained during his lifetime.
