quitejessi's review against another edition
4.0
This is a short but beautiful book. It's written from a Catholic theology, so some things I didn't necessarily agree with, but it was encouraging and thought-provoking. The insight on death as life and rebirth was especially powerful.
The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the formatting. I liked the flow of the book (no citations; each chapter is meant to be read in one stream-of-thought/consciousness), but the paragraph formatting was distracting to me. It might not be for the average reader though.
This one will be staying on my shelf for a while.

A beautiful meditation on the incarnation of Jesus and what it means to be fully alive.

Jesus is the true and first full human. What this means is that we are not human yet and only become human as we become more like Jesus. This little book is an extended meditation on those points. It is concise and profound, drawing on the depth of the church tradition. It is also ascetically pleasing in its presentation, with illustration and attractive fonts to emphasize points. Highly recommended.
