I just finished the book Practicing the Presence of People by Mike Mason. Overall, a good book, though I have to say it got a bit long by the end.
Over the next few days, I'm going to post several quotes that struck me as particularly insightful. So here goes:
"Believing that people are good will not make them so, but it will issue a powerful invitation. By having faith in people, we dramatically increase the odds that they will actually behave well and grow in virture."
