The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity
By Matthew Kelly
Review by Pat Beaty
Comprised of 114 pages, this work is hardly the "biggest" one on any reader's shelves. However, our Lord is God of truth and beauty and both of these words continuously came to my mind as I read this riveting book. It is strongly felt that your reaction will be identical as you peruse the pages of this unusual work.
This author meets you, the reader, "where you live". In other words, not only does his conclusions on the subject of one's personal Christianity make sense, it also makes one aware of his own version of himself. For instance, he says, "the thing is, our deep yearning isn't for momentary pleasures; it is for lasting happiness in a changing world...we cannot control every situation." He goes on to talk about "Holy Moments" which is the actual theme of this writing. It is not about he time you spend in the sanctuary of the church. It is the multiple times that occur to you or that you incur every single day. For instance, it is the little things we do for people, often strangers, every day that do not require a lot of effort on our part but which really assist the other person and further Christianity.
It is felt at this point, that we should point you toward the answer to the question you had when you first read the title above. It is: Holiness is Impossible. "Transforming people one at a time is at the heart of God's plan for the world."
Happy Reading, Pat
