An Inspiring book, May 26, 2003
| By | Paul Iacovitti (Downey, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews
|
This book is a series of interviews with 9 different people talking about their experiences in Eucharistic adoration. This is a powerful & well written book once I started reading it I didn't want to put the book down. These people showed how adoration has given them a stronger faith and a deeper love of Jesus. These are people from all walks of life and with different experiences, some are converts, some have suffered greatly, but they all tell about the peace they have found in christ through the eucharist. This book has inspired me to spend time every day in adoration. I recommend this book to anyone interested in a deeper prayer life.

"Renewal" in the Best Sense, October 12, 2004
| By | Patricia A. Voelker "vfree53" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews

I was gratified to see this wonderful set of accounts of the practice of Adoration. The publisher says that this is "a movement sweeping the Catholic Church," but Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar is a very old practice. What is new is that so many parishes are advocating the practice, some even 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to great spiritual effect among their people. (Dioceses which have Perpetual Adoration are noticing a great increase in quality vocations to the priesthood, some the Church desperately needs in these times.) This will inspire Catholics and inform Catholics and non-Catholics alike as to this powerful form of meditative prayer.

Real People Meet the Real Jesus in the Eucharist, October 12, 2002
| By | Carl E. Olson "Author of 'Will Catholics Be '... (Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews
|
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the Eucharist is the "source and summit" of the Christian Faith. The Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ. Yet many Catholics doubt this belief, are confused by it, or reject is altogether. This book provides both answers and challenges for Catholics looking for a better understanding of the reality and Real Presence of the Eucharist.Dave Pearson initially set out to write a theological and apologetic work aimed at clarifying Catholic teaching about the Real Presence. Wanting to include some personal anecdotes, he interviewed several people active in regular Eucharistic adoration. Realizing the power of their experiences, he compiled these nine interviews. Frank, open, and often vulnerable, these ordinary folks gives witness to the reality of the Real Presence and its tranforming power. As nineteen year old Dylan states so well, the Eucharist is "a radical invitation to love and be loved." This is a book that will challenge and encourage those seeking a deeper, more intimate relationship with their Savior. [Carl Olson is editor of Envoy magazine.]
