My image of God the Father, enthroned in heaven in flowing white robes and Birkenstock sandals, was overshadowed by my certainty that he didn t want me to have any fun. God was all about rules.from Chapter FiveToo many young Catholics experience their faith as Mark Hart did: They rarely miss Mass even if they don t understand it; they have a Bible even if they never read it; they go to confession even if they aren t particularly repentant.Is that your experience of Catholicism? Is yours a faith of Thou Shalt Nots? If so, forget about a dreary life of mindless obedience to rules you don t understand. It s time to enter into the transforming light of your Creator who invites you to live from the still center of his undying love.The author s humorous and hardhitting reflections drive home the point that God isn t calling the reader to be a good personsomeone who merely obeys the rulesbut a new person in Jesus Christ.The audio edition of this book can be downloaded via Audible.
