I was very impressed by its 'holistic' approach to the questions of faith, God, and the deepest meaning of life. She writes from a very 'personalistic' perspective (greatly stressed by Blessed Pope John Paul II). . . . The readers' 'journey' begins with a deeply philosophical and important question: 'Who Are We as Humans?' -- followed by the even more serious consideration of 'Who is God?' These are exactly the right questions to ask when starting out on a spiritual quest. Olivia's style is very engaging and warm, quickly drawing the reader in, and the format is refreshingly different. The middle portions of the book are devoted to the Bible, God's revelation of Himself, and various questions about the Catholic Church (ones that folks ask about a lot). . . . . . The book then ends with reflections on prayer, discipleship, hardships, the saints, and some lovely spiritual poems. I highly recommend 'The Quest Within the Question': it's a book that possesses the rare quality of making the Catholic faith and Christian discipleship highly appealing at a deep personal, 'soul' level, while at the same time showing that is the fullness of truth as well as joy, true happiness, and fulfillment.
