Title: How should we then live?
Review: Loaned out, re-read, quoted, and read aloud to youth groups and adults, this is a book that may become a classic. The insights are varied, the sentiment often raw, but the feelings shared by those highlighted in each chapter are obviously real. I was especially moved by the contrast between the husband and wife who's son was shot. They each have their own story and each challenges my desire to sit back and avoid thinking about how I might react if ever in their situation. "How should we then live?" has been addressed in another book. This might summed up as "How should we treat death?" Definately food for thought, new insights arise each time I read the very personal accounts. Perhaps a future printing will add Terkel's summations. That would add the final star!
