This Tremendous Lover

Book cover--and the ISBN#, and the ISBN13#--different from what I purchased! I know the book; I've read it before, in the OLD Newman Press Edition. And the current book lacks, among perhaps other things, all the outstanding and quite extensive spiritual reading resources originally given by M. Boylan in his original Appendix. In fact, THIS book HAS NO Appendix! The order as received is a real turn-off, and I probably won't even read the book for fear of any additional deficiencies. DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR FIRST-TIME READERS, OR THOSE SEEKING THE SPIRITUAL READING RESOURCES LIST!!!

My book for Lent this year.

If you're a Catholic looking for an intelligent and easy-to-read book on how to deepen your appreciation for your faith and for the Church, this is it! Boylan speaks in very eloquent, practical language and convinces you at the end that you just "gotta have" a relationship with this tremendous lover, Jesus the Christ. A priceless classic! Buy it now!

This book clearly teaches the concept of the mystical body of Christ as proposed by St. Paul in the scriptures. This book had a great impact on my life as a Christ. It clearly explains what the Christian life is about and how all Christians are interrelated to one another in the Body of Christ. A must read for every serious Christian.

I wondered if any modern writer had ever penned a handbook for pursuing a life with Christ in the Catholic Church, until I found this book. Though written by a Trappist Monk around 1945, "This Tremendous Lover" speaks directly to every man and woman who struggles to find room for God amid a hectic life and in a culture often at odds with God's values. From prayer to suffering to the sacraments to marriage to work, "This Tremendous Lover" shows the reader the way to deeper union with Christ, and ultimately to salvation. This is truly a timeless "Introduction to the Devout Life."
