Summary

Michael Long shows us that we do not have to let our lives slip away moment by moment; we we learn to use each moment to experience life fully, abundantly, and joyfully. Rather than living for the moment, Long helps us to live in the moment and to let the moment live in us. Time becomes a gift and a resource for transforming our character and actions into reflections of divine love. We learn to appreciate the past without letting it take over the present, and we learn to hope for the future without forgetting about the here and now. Long gives us a way to embrace each day for what it offers, both joy and pain, emptiness and love, and to make life happen. From the first page, we begin to see the significance of every second in our lives and our unbreakable relationship with time. Long shows us what it means to be in love with life, and in love with the God who gives life to all.
