This is a book that challenges you in certain ways.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meeting the Living God (Paperback)
Back in the mid-70's, I was a high-school student of Father O'Malley. He used his "Meeting the Living God" in a theology course he taught for seniors, so it is hard, if not impossible, for me to separate the book and the person. I'd like to say this, though: One Friday or Saturday night way back then, relaxing on a cool night in a parked car with two or three buddies, we were not talking about the upcoming big game or trying to get into a bar without IDs. Of all things, we were talking about Father O'Malley and his book. One basic idea in both the class and the book was for the student/reader to realize what a Christian is and to act on that by kind of lighting a fire under one's ....arse. At one point in that parked car of twenty years or so ago, a buddy, talking about Father, blurted out (a little too emotionally), "He's a living god." Father O'Malley would balk at that, but my friend was probably talking more about himself and whatever changes he was going through. Both the course and the book really did get many of us past the point of thinking about certain things and into the realm of acting. In this way, and through my "Meeting the Living God" experience of the book and the course, I felt very similar to my feelings about Soren Kierkegaard's "Concluding Unscientific Postscript." In both books, the authors are asking and trying to find out the answer to this question: "What do I have to do to become a Christian"?

The Man and his Book,
This review is from: Meeting the Living God (Paperback)
Inseperable from the book Fr. O'Malley is a teacher to those who seek the most basic questions of ethics. As Kant realizes that morality comes from a sense of duty--so Fr. O'Malley teaches his students and readers what it means to be human. This book connects, compares, and touches upon the essential subjects of morality and God. A great read for anyone who questions. As a friend and former student I can say that here is a man analogous to his words. Meet him and his thoughts, in "Meeting the Living God."
