A couple years back, NCR at editor at large Tom Roberts almost apologetically asked me if he could have some time off because he needed to finish writing the biography of Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister he had been working on. "Tom," I answered, "take all the time you need. That work will be as important as anything you'd be writing for NCR over the next couple weeks. Go for it."

Tom got the book delivered and Orbis got it published. Now, after seeing the book, I am certain that time was well invested. I think its a book all NCR readers will cherish.
