About this listen

Drawing extensively from the spousal symbolism of the Scriptures and from the mystical wisdom of the greatest saints of both East and West, Christopher West presents rich and accessible meditations that take the listener on a journey from the insatiable hunger of the human heart for lasting beauty, through the pitfalls of both idolizing and despising the things of this world, to arrive at the one and only hope of fulfillment: liturgizing our yearning by opening it to the One who is Infinite Beauty revealed in the body and freely given up for us in the Eucharist.

Along the way you’ll discover that, in all the things you’ve always found exciting and attractive, God has been wooing you towards the unimaginable possibility of “eating the sunrise.” There is no more important book for the Eucharistic Revival!

BY LISTENING TO THIS BOOK YOU WILL …

• Discover the path that leads to the fulfillment of your most passionate longings.

• Come to understand God’s eternal plan for your life and the universe like never before.

• Experience the Christian faith as an invitation to be seized and intoxicated by beauty.

• Move beyond today’s “liturgy wars” to discover the hidden beauty of the Mass.

• Understand the basic problem of human existence and its ultimate resolution.

• Have your eyes opened to the divine secrets revealed through your body.

• Discover the surprising roots of today’s gender confusion and the hope of overcoming it.

• Encounter the glorious love song at the base of all things.

• Be able to recognize the diabolic deception that is robbing humanity of all it longs for.

• Rejoice in a beauty-first—rather than sin-first—approach to growing in holiness.

• Unearth countless other treasures that illuminate your heart, its yearnings, and your destiny.
