[short]Author: John Breck, Pages: 238[/short][long]

The importance of the "power of the Word" as the means by which the saving events of the past become "actualized" in each present moment within the life and experience of the Church is the focus of this book. In searching for a hermeneutic for exegesis and interpretation of the Scriptures in today's world, Breck turns to the patristic vision to recover the dynamic quality of the Word as the instrument of God's self-disclosure and self-communication.

It is within the liturgical context particularly that Fr Breck sees the corrective to the purely "verbal" understanding of the Word, restoring to the Word its dynamic quality and its revelatory and saving power as an instrument of the divine will. It is only within the Eucharistic community, as with the disciples at Emmaus, that one's eyes are opened to a true understanding and acceptance of the divine economy, to the perception of the full revelation of God through a personal and intimate communion in the divine gifts of Christ's Body and Blood. Only in the Sacrament is the Word transformed from a message about Jesus into a true participation in His divine life.

A Story to Melt Your Heart
Format: Paperback
This is an easy review to write, as there is nothing I dislike about "The Snowy Day." Although it was published in 1962, it is still as fresh and new as, well, newly-fallen snow. Keats knew how to tell a story well, in both words and through his beautiful and colorful images. It is a perfect children's book, because it is written from their point of view, imbued with their unalloyed sense of wonder and enchantment. Most importantly, I think, is that Keats' main character, Peter, is a little African-American boy, who lives in an urban setting. Peter is neither caricatured nor is he a symbol of or vehicle for speaking about social issues, which would have been very easy to do at the time it was written. Instead, it is a timeless story about a young child discovering snow for the first time and trying to understand its mysterious nature. Although Peter does not fully comprehend snow, he enjoys experiencing it just the same. In simple and direct prose, Keats captures and conveys what it is like to be very young and to encounter the beauty and mystery of the natural world, even in an urban setting. I plan to read this book to the younger children in my church's Sunday school...but it's really for me.
