[Kathleen Wade · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book follows the lives of individuals who've followed a "call" that is parallel to women religious, but distinctly unique to lay people. The stories show the things that all these associates have in common: a desire to enrich their spiritual lives while embodying the charism of a particular religious order of women or men - all of this while living ordinary lives. This seems like a good inspiration for those who want to know more about being associates.
