Confidence

Though we Christians don't need subjective texts to understand or live our faith, nevertheless we can often take great joy and insight from hearing how others have &quote;walked the walk,&quote; from hearing what our Lord or our Lady had to say to them. Reading these folk can be like talking over a backyard fence. We can get little tips, helps; and we can make a friend. Gabrielle Bossis's He and I really helps the reader to see how sweetly Jesus, the most high God of the universe, loves us. It helps us get a feel for the mystical circuitry, for how we are made--not to be stand-alone units, but rather to be in intimate, continual union with the only One who both knows us and lovingly completes us. It's like a homey road map, or an afternoon of tea and good company. It's like going to a game and the home team wins.
