Timothy O'Malley, PhD, is director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy in the Institute for Church Life and a concurrent assistant professional specialist in the Department of Theology, University of Notre Dame. He is the author of Liturgy and the New Evangelization: Practicing the Art of Self-Giving Love published by Liturgical Press.

“Anyone who has met Tim O’Malley has experienced his energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to Christian living. Reading this book is to be immersed in these qualities, for this book reflects O’Malley’s personal engagement with Christ and his saving work in his own daily living and ministry. Defining the ‘new’ evangelization as renewal of the world through renewal of ourselves, he traces throughout the book how the church’s identity and mission cannot be separated, how we are necessarily Christ centered, and how doing good liturgy leads us to the kind of self-giving love that continues the church’s mission of salvation.”            Joyce Ann Zimmerman, CPPS            Director, Institute for Liturgical Ministry, Dayton, Ohio
