In this book the author, himself a veteran of many journeys of faith, has revealed the length and breath, the depth and height of the work, commitment, and dedication that the building of Basic Ecclesial Communities entails. Though his dairy-like recounting of his many experiences forming communities as a young priest in a big parish in Novaliches and his unique Challenges in a parish in an academic setting, he shows how people come together and come apart, and how BEC can revitalize faith and life and move people forward in knowledge and also in growth and development.
