Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-09 00:00:00 Valentina Barcelloni-corte I've read several of Scott Hahn's books, and I always come away with a greater understanding of something profound. This one, I think, is the best so far. Here, he uses everyday language to discuss the Holy Trinity, and how God Himself is reflected in our human families. This gave me new insight on how sacred the family bond really is, as it is, (as humans themselves are), created in God's image. I never thought about how God is not a lonley individual, but essentially a family unit, with a Father and a Son, and the love that pours from them as the Holy Spirit (which, he explains, is not feminine but has a maternal role in regards to the human race... guiding, leading, teaching us to say our Father's name, even giving birth when we are "born of the spirit"). Brilliant, yet easily understandable. I highly recommend this book!!!
