Meeting the Living God

Widely used by high school juniors and seniors in Catholic religion classes, the best-selling Meeting the Living God is that rarest of texts: a book that engages on every page and meets students inside their own culture and language. This is not a pious call to faith having nothing to do with real life; the author calls such a blind leap sheer idiocy. Instead, O'Malley challenges students on the most basic levels: How can we know anything in this age of double-speak and plastic culture? Does God even exist? How can we be sure? What can be discovered with certainty about the nature and personality of God? And how do we meet the living God?
