About this title

Review:

The 'One Thing' Is Three is packed with deep theological insight, and while bursting with information, it writes from the heart and speaks to the heart in such a way that the reader is drawn into a greater realization about the nature, mission, and action of the Holy Trinity. I can think of no better timing than the Year of Faith for this book to be introduced. Fr. Gaitley has given us a great guide to help us in our knowledge and, therefore, our love for God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. --- Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC, Bishop of Peoria, Illinois

The 'One Thing' is Three by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, is written for everyone. The conversational tone has an appeal that invites the reader into the journey of life. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves the Church and seeks a deeper understanding of her teachings. Filled with references to Vatican II and Pope John Paul II, this book will enrich your belief in God's plan of salvation, especially during the Year of Faith. --- Bishop David Ricken, Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin

Warning: This book is dangerous. It brims with wisdom and wonder, and with enthusiastic and infectious joy. If you want to preserve your comfortable categories and ideological classifications of Catholicism as either liberal or conservative, don t read this book. It will turn your prejudices inside out and upside down. If you think the Church s teachings are unintelligible, outdated, impersonal, boring, repressive, platitudinous, impractical, or irrelevant; if you think that theology makes no difference to the energy and joy with which you live your daily life; if you think Vatican II was a mistake; if you think John Paul II was not the greatest man of the 20th century; if you think the Church s old dogmas, like the Trinity and practices like Marian devotion and Eucharistic Adoration, are out of touch with the modern world and modern youth; then this is the very best book for you. It will turn your myopia inside out. Imagine John Paul II writing a book on all the mysteries of Catholic theology in a simpler style than he ever used before. You ve imagined this book. This is the very best example I have ever seen of the new evangelization in the form of a book for contemporary Catholics. It covers just about everything, yet slowly and clearly. If you wonder what God is doing in the Church today to convert and convince the modern world, read this book. It s an amazing achievement: It s simple enough for beginners and profound enough for professionals. --- Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., Author, Speaker, and Professor of Philosophy, Boston College
