    <body><![CDATA[An autobiography of Hendraâ€™s life and how an English Benedictine Monk, Father Joe, influenced him through out his life.  I liked the book but there was too much autobiography about Hendra and not enough about Father Joe.  The parts he did write about Father Joe were wonderful, capturing the charac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35328857">more...</a>]]></body>
