Good luck with the book Donna and well done!
The Brisbane Launch of Donna's book was a night of inspiration and challenge. The inspiration came from Donna's story and the introduction by Dave Andrews. The challenge came in Donna's refrain to find your purpose.
I have started reading "Ordianry Courgae" as my text for this Holy Week in the Christian Calendar. The book is more than a diary of courage. It is a pilgrim's journal that challenges the dominant cultural values of my Aussie heritage as a white male.
Donna writes with the keen eye of a journalist tempered by the compassion of a heart formed in disciplined meditation.
Ordinary Courage is not an easy read. It brings tears and anger as much as joy and hope in the unfolding of the dreadful days leading up to the Invasion of Iraq.
I haven't finished reading yet. However, I know that the end of the book will be an invitation to my own exploring of my ability to live with "Ordinary Courage" in my shpere of influence among family friends and neigbbours
