From Catholic Opus Dei to Atheism

RE: From Catholic Opus Dei to Atheism
Anka:

Obviously, there are two sides to every story. For an opposing viewpoint, folks might read this book:

Dr. Hahn gives a thoughtful overview of the positive experience he has had as a member of Opus Dei for more than 10 years. I own and have read the book, and although I don't feel called to be a member of Opus Dei (and not everyone is, Anka), I think that Opus Dei is doing good work. From the promotional:

Quote:Through stories about his job, his marriage, his role as a parent, and his community activities, Hahn shows how Opus Dei’s spirituality enriches the meaning of daily tasks and transforms ordinary relationships. He offers inspiring insights for reconciling spiritual and material goals, discussing topics ranging from ambition, workaholism, friendship, and sex, to the place of prayer and sacrifice in Christianity today. 

I'm sorry that your own experience was not beneficial to you.
