The UK Launch of the book "Is it possible to live this way? An Unusual Approach to Christian Existence. Vol. 2 Hope" by Luigi Giussani will be held on Thursday 2 July at 7.30 pm at Westminster Cathedral Hall. Speakers will be Fr. Julian Carron - President of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation, and Mgr. Mark O’Toole - Rector of the Seminary of the Diocese of Westminster. See also the Communion and Liberation website.Description of the book by CL:
The book is a compilation of Luigi Giussani’s conversations with people following the path of consecrated life in the Catholic Church . As in all his works, Giussani encourages individuals to be serious about their own existence and faithful to their experience. The conversations reported here are fascinating and insightful, providing support for a way of life that today is frequently questioned, rejected, or censured.The text reflects on the “evangelical counsels” of poverty, chastity and obedience, proposing an unusual yet reasonable approach to living as a Christian, which is equally pertinent to all persons who seek to encounter Christ in their lives.

Father:
This is a series of books, right? Have you read the first one, or seen any reviews?
Yes, it is a series. I haven't read the first one.
It's a trilogy: volumes are Faith, Hope and Charity.
Not strictly a review, but on the CL UK site Father linked in the post is the text of Fr Carron's talk at the presentation of the 1st book:
