Rolheiser explains the nonnegotiables - the importance of community worship, the imperatives surrounding social action, the centrality of the Incarnation, the sustenance of the spiritual life - and how spirituality necessarily impacts every aspect of human experience. At the the core of this readable, deeply revealing book is an explanation of God and the Church in a world that more often than not doubts the credibility of both.""
