    "In this current era, we have to step up with our best. This book is just that: Cistercian Publications found writers writing their best to celebrate the monk who is our best writer of our lifetime."
    Mary Margaret Funk, OSB
    "This is a marvelous and creative collection of essays designed to honor Michael Casey for his pivotal contributions to monastic thinking in our time. The essays help us to know Michael's thought better in two different ways. Some engage him directly and dialogue with him. Others take their inspiration from themes that he himself has opened up and explored. So many of us are grateful for Michael,
    Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, OSB, Mount Angel Abbey
    "This volume is a ringing testimony to the return to the sources of Benedictine monasticism stimulated by the renewal of Vatican II, and also to the remarkable contribution to that effort by Australia, which provides over half the authors for this collection. No one will question the expression of gratitude to Michael Casey, who has been at the heart of this movement both worldwide and locally. Wi
