Making All things New

The book you are holding in your hands is about the ongoing Incarnation that prompts and activates the ever-engaging actualization of our entire spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical potential-individually and collectively. It is about the world that is embraced the way Christ embraced it-a place where a loving God is deeply involved with you and me, here and now. It is about the driving force of the word of God that shapes our everyday life. The day the visible reflects and embodies the Invisible is the day in which we can say we truly have understood the Christian message because we would have lived it uncompromisingly.

The problem of our world today, as Dr. Maalouf sees it, is not that we seem to be too "incarnated" in the sense of being materialistic to the extreme. Au contraire, the real problem is that we are not "incarnated" enough; we do not incarnate the Invisible in the visible. Failing to do so is an incognito heresy to the very act of Creation, a de facto insult to the Incarnation, and it constitutes, consequently, the very cause of the crisis that is affecting our destiny today.
