"Michael Harrington breaks new ground
in his attempt to engage young people in a dialogue about the
world they live in and especially the values at issue in that
world. In a new and daring way, Harrington has adapted the allegorical,
symbolic narrative long used in Christian literature. Sara Doom
is a modern-day young pilgrim making her hesitant progress across
our continent. I encourage those working with youth to examine
this provocative experiment in speaking with the young."
—Michael Warren, Ph.D., Professor, Department
of Theology,
St. John's University, Jamaica, NY
"Using images and language that speak
to today's young people and to their parents, Harrington offers
both generations a tool to open communications. Sara Doom discovers
her ethic is not 'out there' among the many images and zones,
but it is within."
—Deborah Knapp Bonilla, KENS TV News Anchor/Reporter,
San Antonio
"...he strikes poignantly
at the heart, is set whimisically in the realm of reality and
yet is prophetically profound, is on the edge and yet at
the very core of the Gospel. The voice is worth reading and heeding!"
—Rev. Ann E. Helmke, Director, Peace Talks,
San Antonio
"...a grab bag of thought-provoking
stories, split-second challenges, glimpses of the sacred, and
just plain fun. I recommend it for adolescents and adults alike.
A timely long overdue book for everyone interested in the creation
of meaningful bridges between generations."
—Dr. Denise Doyle, Professor, Incarnate
Word College, San Antonio
Joe Patrick Bean, Former San Antonio Express-News
Columnist: "Sara Doom's search for her lost ethic is a dizzying
eye-opening journey across a culture that seems to have misplaced
its children along with its ethic...a clarion call for our
society–especially our churches–to hear the lamentations
of our lost children."
"…breaks new ground in his attempt
to engage young people in a dialogue…the values at issue…has
adapted the allegorical, symbolic narrative long used in Christian
literature…those working with youth should examine this provocative
book."
—Dr. Michael Warren, author, theology professor,
St. John's University (NYC)
