xix + 76hlm; 12x17cm This book includes spiritual reflections on the meaning of "sacrifice" in Christian religious life. The author, known as a mystical writer and lay theologian, seeks to explain that sacrifice is not simply an act of loss or suffering, but rather a form of conscious surrender to God's will. He traces the concept of sacrifice from its biblical roots to the practice of daily spiritual life. He emphasizes that true sacrifice lies not in mere outward actions, but in an inner attitude of love, obedience, and openness to divine transformation. In his view, sacrifice is a path to union with God, because through sacrifice, humans learn to let go of ego and personal desires. The book also links sacrifice to the life of Jesus Christ as the ultimate example, particularly in the mystery of the cross. However, the author emphasizes that each individual is called to live out this form of sacrifice within the context of their own lives, whether in relationships, work, or ministry. Overall, The Mystery of Sacrifice invites readers to understand sacrifice as an active and meaningful spiritual process, involving not only suffering but also love, growth, and union with the Divine. doa Kristen 242 PERPUSTAKAAN STFT WIDYA SASANA Jln.
