Be Christian, Be Christ: Step One of the Immersed in Christ Series

This booklet is meant to foster in a practical way a process of spiritual growth designed to help you grow to the “perfection of love.”

There are reflections for every day during Advent and the Christmas season. They are based on the readings read at Mass each day. But there is a spin to them!

The reflections focus on whatever is in the readings that speaks to the theme of appreciating and using Jesus as the Savior, not just of our “souls,” but of our whole life on this earth: family and social life, school life, work and politics. The aim of every reflection is to help you get into the kind of interaction with Jesus Christ that will “save” every area and activity of your life from “veering off” toward destructiveness, distortion, mediocrity and meaninglessness. A good theme for Advent and Christmas.

This booklet is also a practical follow-up to help you live out Step One in my book Reaching Jesus — Five Steps to a Fuller Life — the introductory or “flagship” book for the spiritual growth plan Immersed in Christ. You will find more books developing the five steps on the website www.immersedinchrist.com.

I hope you will love this book, use it and enjoy it!! Merry Christmas and a growthful New Year!
