Blessed Are the Bored in Spirit: A Young Catholic's Search for Meaning

Too many young Catholics experience their faith as Mark Hart did. They rarely miss Mass even if they don't understand it; they have a Bible even if they never read it; they go to confession even if they are not particularly repentant. Is that your experience of Catholicism? Is yours a religion of Thou Shalt Nots? If so, forget about a dreary life of mindless obedience and rules you don't understand. It's time to enter into the transforming light of your Creator who invites you to live from the still center of his undying love. The author's humorous and hard-hitting reflections drive home the point that God isn't call the reader to be a good person--someone who merely obeys the rules--but a new person in Jesus Christ.
