Michael Long shows us that we do not have to let our lives slip away moment by moment; we we learn to use each moment to experience life fully, abundantly, and joyfully. Rather than living for the moment, Long helps us to live in the moment and to let the moment live in us. Time becomes a gift and a resource for transforming our character and actions into reflections of divine love. We learn to appreciate the past without letting it take over the present, and we learn to hope for the future without forgetting about the here and now. Long gives us a way to embrace each day for what it offers, both joy and pain, emptiness and love, and to make life happen. From the first page, we begin to see the significance of every second in our lives and our unbreakable relationship with time. Long shows us what it means to be in love with life, and in love with the God who gives life to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical advice for daily living,
By S. Hershey (York, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Have the Time of Your Life: Living for God in Each Moment (Paperback)
This book contains many every day examples of how people use their time. By using examples from his experience in parish ministry, Mr. Long demonstrates examples of the best ways to spend our days on earth. His style of writing is very readable as well as literary and uplifting. I recommend this book to persons who are in need of a way to slow down and gain a new insight of the importance of appreciating life for each moment.
