I thought this book would be a good relaxing read on spirituality. Comparing the pursuit of God to dating makes much sense in my mind, so I gave this book a go. I liked how short it was (less than 200 pages) and how each chapter is standalone. I can read a chapter, reflect for a while, then move on to the next chapter without missing a beat. Each chapter begins with a quote, delves into Horan's spiritual commentary and insight, then ends with a summary and discussion questions. This is a great book to be part of a book club / study with friends. Since Horan is of the Catholic Order, he does talk a lot about "the Christ". However, I would argue that the underlying ideas in this book apply to God in general and, as such, would appeal to readers of various religions. Take time to be alone, meditate on life, serve others, steward the earth, and maybe--just maybe--you'll find God along the way.
