Fr. Barron's The Strangest Way: Walking the Christian Path


The following comes from Word on Fire:

Is Christianity a bland, domesticated religion, unthreatening and easy to grasp? Or is it the most exotic, unexpected, and uncanny of the religious paths? For the mystics and saints -- and for Father Robert Barron who discovered Christianity through them -- it is surely the strangest way. "At its very center," writes Fr. Barron, "is a God who comes after us with a reckless abandon, breaking open his own heart in love in order to include us in the rhythm of his own life."


In this book, Fr. Barron lays out three basic paths of the spiritual life: Finding the Center; Knowing You Are A Sinner; and Realizing Your Life is Not About You. He also provides practical approaches to enhance your journey along these three paths.
