Publisher's Description: How do we live in a world with its designer religion that allows itself to be tailored to each personality? It takes, but never gives. It satisfies needs, but never asks for repentance. It offers mystery and asks for no service. It provides a sense of something other, without asking us to stand before that other. At the extremes our response will be either to compromise ourselves or alienate ourselves from the world without any contact with it. Through Arturo Azurdia’s book we are inspired to be people of the cross who are sent out into the world to live exemplary lives.
