I found myself spellbound by this true story of an actor turned evangelist. In Aching for Greatness: Discover God's Love in the Restless Search for More, author Tanner Kalina writes with authority about developing an intimate relationship with Christ.
The reader is drawn to Kalina's story because he is such a fascinating individual--a spiritual seeker who also surfs, a card player who cries out for the Lord. His testimony of finding his way to God is mesmerizing and appealing, especially to young people thirsting for Jesus' love.
Kalina's quest to find true meaning in life amid the glitter and glamour of Hollywood is like a modern version of St. Augustine's Confessions. A master storyteller, Kalina is quite persuasive in his invitation to readers to experience the life of fullness and redemption Christ offers.
This is the type of book you will want to savor, pondering deeply on the truths it tells. Kudos to Kalina for creating such an engaging spiritual work of art.
