Library Journal
This is the latest entry in the "Catholic Spirituality for Adults" series, which includes books on prayer, charity, holiness, and Mary, among others. With trademark eloquence, Shea (Elijah at the Wedding Feast) shows how contemporary Christians can navigate through the spiritual process that Shea believes Jesus lived and how they may enact it for themselves. Chapters address such notions as metaphor, understanding the self, and coming to terms with the Resurrection. VERDICT Shea is one of the Catholic Church's most effective popular theologians, with a singular ability to reach the heart of American Catholics; his latest book will not disappoint Catholics and other Christians.
