Before I got into "Inevitable Grace," by Piero Ferrucci, I thought this book was about religion. Not really. It is about finding your true self, which very well is the fact that you are a wonderfully made, child of God, but one doesn't have to be a believer to read this book. Ferrucci examines seven ways: beauty, action, illumination, dance and ritual, science, devotion, and will, to discover more about yourself.
The author looks at people we know and looks into what made people what they were. Pablo Casals, the cellist is a good example. In a crisis, Casals went into a depression where all he saw was ugliness, selfishness, oppression, and violence. He hated life. Eventually, he saw that what he saw and felt was only a part of humanity. Music was a good part but not all. When he looked out at the audience he saw that all those people loved music, like himself. And they have to go out and live in our broken world. We are all brothers and sisters and we share misery and happiness. And his music he hoped was helping.
Ferruci gives many, many more examples. They are all noble stories and inspiring.

This book was very difficult to get through, and not as inspiring as I was hoping.
