            This is the life-story of a seasoned Jesuit teacher-counselor-writer in passage from an American ghetto Catholicism to a Church more global and self-questioning. Probing into uncertainties of his own, he revisits key faces first encountered in classes, kitchens, clinics, sickbeds, barracks, or lockups -- many loyal to another faith tradition, many averse to any religious label.

 

            "Father Ruland interweaves accounts of amusing misadventure, of engagement with some extraordinary clients and students, and of his maturing spirituality, ever more open and pluralistic. In its wisdom and style of disclosure this autobiography shows proof that an honest examined life can be truly worth living." Chris Hayward, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University
