June 5, 1967 " Doctrinally sound, morally enlightened, psychologically penetrating, the works of Louis Evely
speak to today's Christian in the accents of today's world.
Here is the spirituality which creates no unnecessary tension between one's religious and one's secular duties,
which is rooted in concrete daily life, which is utter devoid of the emotionalism and sentimentalism which
have made the very term "spiritual reading" distasteful to contemporary Christians. " " It is the very essence of the liturgical year that worship compenetrate the events of day-to-day living,
that the ordinary here-and-now be transfigured by its relation to Christ's saving acts.
It is this transfiguration that Father Evely aims at in the present series of meditative reflections on
the meaning of the gospel in everyday life.
Following the sequence of the Church's feasts, The Word of God shows the relevance of each
of them to the religious plight of today's Christian.
Without unctuous phrasing, without farfetched examples, without rapturous calls to an unattainable sanctity,
Father Evely succeeds in moving the mind of the reader and in shaping his will in conformity with the standard of the gospel.
This is plain-talking analysis of the implications of Christianity for our time which is firmly based on biblical understanding
and psychological insight. " Contents includes: " Prologue: The Annunciation The First Sunday in Advent
