- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a well-done lecture with some very good content and suggestions from the example of a few very gifted Christian leaders for strengthening both ones spiritual relationship with God and one's active service for God. I'm not a Catholic by tradition, but this lecture gives me an even greater respect for much that is very valuable in the Catholic tradition and history. It teaches me from afresh that there is very much in which we can fellowship, learn from, and encourage each other in seeking and serving our common Lord Jesus Christ.
