The was much to like about Rediscover Jesus, but also much to dislike, which is par for the course with Kelly's peculiar way of expressing myself. I am not a perfect disciple, far from it, but I still sense that Kelly is writing more for the man I was a few years hence than the man I am today. Still, if his writing helps any single individual renew his or her relationship with the Lord, that is all to the good; in that vein, complimentary copies of Rediscover Jesus were handed out at all the Christmas Eve & Christmas Day Masses at Holy Redeemer. Rediscover Jesus is written in forty brief chapters, meant to be read either straight through as I've just done or as a Lenten daily devotional. (The cover is purple, the liturgical color of Lent & Advent.) I do not think I'll be rereading the book this Lent, though I expect much of the material to show up in Dynamic Catholic's daily "Best Lent Ever" e-mails.
