Cardinal Kasper is a distinguished theologian who was a colleague of Cardinal Ratzinger, Karl Rahner, and Hans Kung at The Universities of Münster and Tübingen. Kasper now heads the Vatican's Council for Promoting Christian Unity, with the specific task of fostering relations between the Catholic Church and other Christian Churches and Ecclesial communities. Here he outlines his vision for the unity of Christian Churches. A man with an open mind, Kasper covers one of the major responsibilities of the contemporary Catholic Church. His perspective of the uniqueness of The Catholic Church and its magisterium is presented here as a modern inquiry into the nature of truth. His views are enlightening and engaging, and reflect the important role of dialogue as understood by the Catholic Church, which also listen to other traditions and learn from them. Many will read it in the hope that the thought of this renowned, open-minded Church leader may give hope to people of all traditions that they may learn to understand Jesus's injunction - 'they may be one'.

Revised & Updated Edition! God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

A Christian's faith is like the foundation of a house. If the foundation is built on sand, that foundation will not stand, and when adversity occurs, loss is suffered. It is necessary for each Christian's foundation of faith to be periodically challenged. The world is entering a season where everyone's faith will be tested. Prior to that testing period, everyone must correct any weaknesses in beliefs. May God reveal to the reader any misunderstandings or other weaknesses in beliefs and provide the necessary correction. Unity is powerful! The Christian Church should be powerful and not anemic. The time is now for unity within the many denominations and Christian organizations. Each part of the body of Christ has its purpose, function, and intended use. What has been missing is the interrelationship between the various parts. The best way for individuals to resolve differences is to work with others from varying backgrounds. Believers will soon discover that they have more in common with other believers than they have differences. This discovery is the beginning of unity. Planting the desire for unity in the hearts of Christians will open the door for God to move mightily within the church and throughout the world. Many believe in an end-time revival that only God knows, whether it will be one revival or a series of revivals. Each believer will choose to accept God's call to unity or reject it. Either way, the plan of God will be manifested.
