Advance Praise for Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace
"Only a few years ago, Opus Dei was seen as alien, secretive, and
sinister. Then some writers began to take a closer look. Now Scott
Hahn has given us a lively and readable account of the joy he and
thousands of others have discovered in doing God's work in God's
world."
-(The Rev.) Richard John Neuhaus, editor-in-chief of First
Things
"If you want the real story about Opus Dei, Scott Hahn will give
you the shocking truth-the shock of a Gospel life lived effectively
in the midst of the world. Like all his other books, this one will
challenge your view of the Christian life."
-Father Benedict J. Groeshcel, C.F.R., author of Arise From
Darkness
"Scott Hahn's abilities as a scholar, teacher, and writer are
already well known. But the story of his journey to Opus Dei that
emerges here, and his portrait of The Work remind us that each of
us, no matter what our vocation or state of life, is called to
holiness. This is compelling reading."
-Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver
"In the vast ocean of literature on Opus Dei, what we have not had
until now is a book written by an insider but accessible to
outsiders. Faced with the popular myth of a militant, foreboding
society, the average person has been left to ask: What in the world
might attract someone to this? Scott Hahn provides the answer. He
opens up the spiritual core of Opus Dei, explaining why tens of
thousands of thoughtful people have seen it as their pathway to
holiness, and to the holiness of the world. In these pages, Hahn's
prose is at its sparkling, insightful, crystal-clear best. It's a
book that needed to be written, so that we all may understand."
-John Allen, Vatican writer for the National Catholic Reporter and
author of Opus Dei
"Scott Hahn is one of our finest spiritual writers, and in Opus Dei
he has found a subject worthy of his gifts. This is a book that
everyone can ponder and pray over with profit."
-Russell Shaw, author of Catholic Laity in the Mission of the
Church and Personal Vocation
