Отрывок из книги
This book was written as a supplement to faith formation. It has not been promoted or officiated in anyway by the Holy See or administration of the Roman Catholic Church, or even by the Maronite Eparchy of Australia. While I am part of this community, none of them had any official input or responsibility for the ideas in this book.

This was the part of my development that switched my self-doubt into cockiness. It was typical of the kind of training in which students bailed out of their course of study because they believed they knew it all, and went off to conquer the world.
A small voice inside of me was telling me this was only the beginning. It was a voice that helped to centre me between two extremes, one being a victim and the other a merciless destroyer.
