About the Book

This volume of Is It Possible to Live this Way, a translation of Luigi Giussani's Si Può Vivere Così?, addresses the virtue of charity. A compilation of Giussani's conversations with young people who have chosen the path of the consecrated life in the Church — that is, have chosen to live their lives in the world according to the "evangelical counsels" of poverty, chastity, and obedience — it proposes an unusual yet reasonable approach to living as a Christian.

Author's Message

As in all his works, Giussani encourages young people to be serious about their own existence and loyal to their experience. The conversations reported here are fascinating and insightful, providing support for a way of life that today is frequently questioned, rejected, or censured.
