The Strangest Way

Walking the Christian Path

De: Robert Barron

Narrado por: Bob Souer

Is Christianity a bland, domesticated religion, unthreatening and easy to grasp? Or is it the most exotic, unexpected, and uncanny of religious paths? For the mystics and saints - and for Robert Barron, who discovered Christianity through them - it is surely the strangest way. "At its very center", writes Barron, "is a God who comes after us with a reckless abandon, breaking open his own heart in love in order to include us in the rhythm of his own life." What could be more compelling?

Clear teaching for the modern world.

Bishop Barron does a fantastic job of presenting the faith in its full truth to the modern listener without compromising the message.

Beautiful and Complete

Beautiful, succinct and complete presentation of the Way for the Christian faithful. What a gift Robert Barton is, and has given to the Church.

Listen with a open mind…

Very well researched and insightful,,,I really enjoy Bishop Barton’s writing. He’s is extremely knowledgeable and cultured - he challenges intellectually and spiritually.

Great read for those curious about Christianity

Barron cites BobDylan, Dante, Flannery O’Connor, Scripture, movies and more! Benedict XVI wisely said to be a Christian isn’t about philosophy, but a friendship with the living Christ.

A Primer for Christians

Deep subject. Listen many times to understand the mysteries of Christian life. Excellent reader. Recommended highly.

This is deep

But as you listen the truth is written to be understood at any path you have taken.

The Strangest Way is the only Way

Excellent. We are drawn to God, we are healed, we discover our mission, and the process eventually answers the question asked about the Crucifix by a non-Christian (CH 1?). This "Strange Way" offers an interesting contrast to the oft mentioned way: purgation, illumination, union. Barron provides a description of each path on the 'Strangest Way', as well as, methods to progress along each path of the 'Way'. And, along this way he intertwines excellent mini summaries of Brideshead Revisited, Dante's 'Divine Comedy' and Flannery O'Conner's 'The Violent Bear It Away''; which are worth the price of the book alone. I had the book once when I read it years ago, but the audio recording brought it home in a new way.

Genius

This book expertly uses many literary connections to explain the beauty of Catholicism. You will learn more than you bargained for.

A Timely Message

Well thought out teachings on Chrisitaintiy and the Cattholic Church in the world today.

Catholic Faith Brilliantly explained

Bishop Barron is being for many people like me (the generation of dumb catholicism) the gentle apostle who guide us through history, literature, art, theology and the beauty of the Word to help us truly appreciate and return to the faith so we can be the hands of Jesus in this world.
