[Betsy Jacobs · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a big huge book, not in size, but in content. I read it as part of a professional development experience and overall I found it amazingly enlightening. A bit tedious at times, but only because I was relatively unfamiliar with about half of it. If you teach in Catholic education, then you probably want to read this book.
