What People Are Saying
This book conveys the essence of the Catholic Gospel with clarity, power, and practical insight. Too many people make too little of the truth that we actually become—and grow up—as members of Christ’s Mystical Body. Our salvation is more than forgiveness, or even healing. Christ comes to share our human nature—and empower us to share his divine nature (2 Pet 1:4). Only God could do this. The good news is Christ does this. Highly recommended.
Scott Hahn, Father Michael Scanlan, T.O.R.
Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization, Franciscan University of Steubenville
In this new book Fr. Meconi brings the fruit of his years of study and life together in a very accessible manner. He knows that the purpose of our life is nothing less than union with God and the purpose of his life has become helping the rest of us realize this. Thanks be to God!

Director of Graduate Theology Programs in the New Evangelization, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
‘We are called to receive Christ so as to become him, and this alone will determine our eternal destinies.’ With this one pithy sentence Fr. Meconi gets to the very core of our Catholic faith. To be a Catholic is to participate in the life and love of the Holy Trinity. In this time of confusion, fear, and despair, Fr. Meconi’s account of the ongoing Incarnation is inspiring, hopeful, and stylistically worthy of a Chesterton or James Schall, S.J. It would be a great blessing for the Church if this book were to be widely read as the antidote to so many of our pastoral problems.

In this masterful work, the reader is initiated into the language of deification in the Christian tradition. . . . In reality, this book is not just a study of a specific doctrine or teaching. It is an introduction to the whole Christian life.

<p>Right out of the gate, I found the description and defense of the Triune to be very illustrative, and compelling. I think this may be the single, most compelling piece that I shall take with me. The book is very easy to read and challenges the way in which we Catholics conduct our daily lives. Charity is at the essence of our faith and I believe this short book gets to the heart of this issue in a thought provoking, and convincing way. I highly recommend it.</p>
