"Our One Great Act of Fidelity" Review

Eye-opening. Mind-blowing. Short and sweet. Beyond meaningful.

These are a few of the phrases that describe this book. "Our One Great Act of Fidelity" written by Ronald Rolheiser is a collection of short explanations about the Eucharist and what it contains in and of itself. This as you might have guessed is a religious book and can be applied to most Christian religions but particularity Catholicism. I am Catholic and thought that I could delve deeper into the Eucharist and learn to love it even more.
As previously stated, this is a collection of short chapters which delve into different parts of the Eucharist and how it pertains to each one of us and is characteristics. This book has actually blown my mind because it goes into detail but not too much where it is unattainable. It is so relate-able and quick that you have no choice but to keep reading.

The greatest thing about this book is that it is in such short chapters. I never felt that I was trapped in a long theological trap but rather Rolheiser made the Eucharist as relate-able as it can be. I wanted to be able to have a book that I can jump in and out of with ease and this book did that. I learn something new every time and I just couldn't stop.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a little more depth in their spiritual life or for someone who is searching for faith in general.

There is a link to read the first chapter so you can see what I am over the moon about. CHAPTER 1

I am giving this book a 4.5 out of 5, Th is is because it might not be for everyone but for someone who is curious it will be amazing and just mind-opening!!!
