Under the Influence of Jesus Paprocki, Joe

When in Hawaii, Joe Paprocki visited the Polynesian Cultural Center where he experienced young people presenting information about their cultures in an exciting, dramatic and robust manner. Thinking back to the last Mass he attended where the prayers were perfunctory, the music dull and the sermon boring he could not help but be saddened and to wonder what had happened to the Church. Can the message of Jesus transform people today?Under the Influence of Jesus The Transforming Experience of Encountering Christ is his attempt to answer that question and to give suggestions and ways to make the Christian message and experience more meaningful and "robust".

In Under the Influence of Jesus Paprocki not only looks at the message of the kingdom of God, the cross and more but relates and connects that message to our lives today. He looks at "the particular characteristics of a changed heart and life that result from accepting the message that Jesus is Lord and that we are a "new creation" in a new kind of kingdom". The book is an invitation to encounter Christ in a whole new way.
