Book Review: A heartfelt faith memoir
Summary: 5 Stars
My Life on the Rock: A Rebel Returns to the Catholic Faith by Jeff Cavins is a poignant story of a young man searching for God. Running from the faith of his childhood, his journey brings him full circle to finally embrace that faith once again with startling enthusiasm and zeal. He recalls as a child yearning to know God and vaguely sensing that there was something more to life than just the normal childhood preoccupations of sports, school, and making other people laugh with his knack for comedy. He faced several painful and humiliating experiences, but with each event he was drawn ever more deeply by this desire for a knowledge of the divine.
His spiritual journey began with Catholic baptism and the typical religious education of a suburban Catholic attending public school in America in the 1960's and 70's. He had a spiritual conversion experience as a young adult, got married, and entered a Christian Bible college. Later he became pastor of a large church, and finally came back into the Catholic Church after instruction and spiritual direction from priests, a bishop, and his own father. He recounts with much candor and humility his feelings, hopes, and fears throughout the years of searching and ends the book with a positive eagerness for the continuation of the story. A very uplifting read, to be sure.
