The Wisdom of “Les Miserables”

“From the opening sentence in the Introduction to the final words of ‘Never Shall I Forget,’ Alfred J. Garrotto takes us along a path to becoming fully human, fully alive, and spiritually awake. And  he does it in a profoundly simple, nurturing, and caring way that make us want to reaffirm our commitment to the best possibilities hidden deep within each one of us. The path to self-mastery, personal discovery, risk taking, self-reflection, re-decisioning, and life building is all there in one small but spiritually powerful book. The Wisdom of Les Miserables  is more about the human heart and its potential to live a noble and deep vision than it is about the wisdom of fictional saints from bygone eras.  I will carry this book with me from now on as a companion in those moments where I must once again encounter myself to outgrow myself.  If you are at all serious about the quality and value of your life and defining your own deep and noble vision, you owe it to yourself to get this book and use it.”
