Review Quotes: Tapping into his own fascinating and unique background, Chris Lowney has written an important, powerful book that is full of paradox. It is both deeply philosophical and immensely practical. It is suited for those steeped in Catholic faith and those with no faith formation at all. It is timeless and completely relevant for our modern age. Whether you are fascinated by Pope Francis or in search of useful tools for transforming the organization you lead, this book is a prize.--Patrick Lencioni, President (The Table Group)
