Review by Reverend Brian Van Hove, S.J.
Alma, Michigan
Published in The Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Quarterly, vol. 29, no. 1 (Spring 2006):57

Academics, intellectuals, and scholars are hard to reach spiritually. Devotional material tends not to impress them. But here is a little book that anyone who "lives in his head" should read.
The first half of the book is a lively interview with Father Groeschel by John Bishop, an Englishman who takes note that the friars are opening a mission in Canning Town located in London's East End. They discuss the current crisis in the Church, the post-conciliar trauma, the need for reform in Religious Life, the hunger of today's youth for religious orthodoxy, terrorism, abortion, liberalism, EWTN, and the apostolic efforts of Groeschel's Community of the Franciscans of the Renewal. At every corner the theme of suffering and death is raised.
Then, perhaps two years after this interview, Father Groeschel suffered a serious accident in Orlando, Florida, on January 11, 2004. He nearly died after a car hit him while he was crossing the street near the international airport. The second half of the book is a series of short meditations and reflections on some of the same themes, except this time from someone more intensely living out the mystery of suffering and the Cross he had been discussing while he enjoyed relatively good health at the age of 70.
Any academic, intellectual, or scholar could in an instant be similarly reduced to helplessness in a hospital, and so the sober realism of Father Groeschel comes as a style of faith quite attractive to those hard to attract. Sober, fierce spirituality is difficult to find, especially since American liberal religion became infected with "pop psychology" and the therapeutic culture. Groeschel more than once describes liberalism as "faith without content". In this little book we see the objective content of the Faith keeping him going under the direst of circumstances.
Catholics are generally unfamiliar with the Christian East. But Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) of London wrote in a way that is similar to Benedict Groeschel. Bloom was a medical doctor and a monk (+2003), and Groeschel is a psychologist trained to help disturbed adolescents. Bloom's "Death and Bereavement" (Oxford: St. Stephen's Press, 2002) is the type of tough and pure spirituality that we need, but unfortunately it is far less accessible than Groeschel's writing published by Our Sunday Visitor.
On page 117 we have the heading "Death is Never Far Away". Groeschel says, "My experience during the two months I was on a respirator and unable to speak, eat, or drink gave me a new view of purgatory. I used to joke about this reality--I will no longer joke about it, however, because in some ways I was there."
There Are No Accidents is a book about experience, especially the experience of a Franciscan priest who had an accident, was expected to die, did not die, and wrote for us through his suffering. The pages of this book radiate hope for every reader. Suffering and death come to us all, even to academics, intellectuals, and scholars. Groeschel recommends that our suffering and our death be in union with Christ.

This is an interesting book, especially if you are interested about Fr. Groeschel. He was hit by a car in 2004 and miraculously recovered. This book contains the account of this accident and his recovery. I had become acquainted with Father in a tape that I have and was impressed with his knowledge of history. He left the Franciscan order that he joined originally and branched out to found a new order, I believe trying to go back to the ideals of St. Francis of serving the poor and living on what God provides. He develops the theme that with God there are no accidents: everything that happens occurs because of God's will. Bad things happen because man has free will and does bad things. God doesn't normally step in and snatch you from in front of the car if you venture out in front of it, but he doesn't leave you alone in your recovery.

Everything that Father Groeschel has written is excellent in one way or another. Some of his books are more deeply theological or philosophical; some, written as much from his perspective as a world-renowned psychologist, and former teacher at Columbia as from his priestly perspective - require pondering and meditating in order to absorb the teachings. Others - like this slim volume - present his practical spirituality and his almost Zen-like outlook on resting in our trust in God. Half of this book is a fascinating interview, and the remainder is taken from his speaking and writing on the terrible events surrounding his near fatal accident. The reader does come away with a feeling of hope and courage to face life's challenges.

A short observational account attempting to interpret that there is a divine interference in the outcome of many " accidents". I found the book pleasantly reassuring that there is a guardian angel keeping watch over us.VV

Father Groeschel, a Franciscan priest living in the Bronx, reflects on part of his philosophy of life, formed from a lifetime of contemplation on religious and other issues. If you have seen him talk, you already know his straight-forward, frank approach, combined with his deeply religious approach to life. This books helps the reader know him better, and provides some worthwhile incites. He is the holiest man I've ever met (I met him in 1992 and 1993, spoke with him for only a few sentences).

I like Fr. Roescell.

A man who has influence many with his books and then experiences a horrible accident deals with it in a human way. Fr. Groeschel shares his journey after the accident plus all the mental and physical changes during the process of recovery. A book worth reading.

Fr Groeschel is a beautiful man. A wonderful spirit indeed. Pray for us Fr Groeschel
