Michael Malone THE ONLY BEGOTTEN undertakes a study in-depth of the Sacrament, what it does to us, and what it makes us; how Sanctifying Grace, while necessary to salvation, is merely a fellow-creature brought into being for us, and thus in need of further assistance and implementation to achieve its destiny. It is the un-created Life of God that must be transmitted into a soul destined for the Beatific Vision. Answers why Adam and Eve nor any of their canonized children could achieve eternal bliss in the State of Justice; how men become Spouses of Jesus Christ and Temples of His Holy Spirit, regenerated, indeed, re-created fit for the Kingdom of Heaven. With a glowing commendation by Fr. Timothy Hopkins of St. Philomena Shrine, Miami, Florida. You will understand, after reading this marvelous book, why "baptism of desire," alone cannot bring about a "new creature," any more than a desire for a new child alone can bring about the creation of a new person!
