Fr. Benedict Croell O.P., Fr. Andrew Hofer O.P., "A Living Sacrifice: Guidance for Men Discerning Religious Life"
English | ISBN: 0989621286 | 2019 | 304 pages | EPUB | 0,3 MB
A Living Sacrifice is a comprehensive guide for men who are discerning God's call. It serves as both an introduction to religious life as well as a guide for discerning vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. With clear language, engaging examples, and solid theology, the book tackles the big questions:
"Should I date while discerning?"
"Should I be a diocesan priest or a religious brother?"
"What community should I join?"
"What should I expect during formation?"
"What is religious life anyway?"
"How do I know for sure if I'm being called?"
A Living Sacrifice includes an overview of most forms of religious life in the U.S., as well as contributions from priests and brothers in many different communities. While authored by Dominican priests, the book is deliberately written for men discerning any religious community. A Living Sacrifice offers a solid alternative to "cyber discernment" by addressing men's most common questions in a single volume. Perfect to bring into the chapel to spark a heart-to-heart conversation with Christ.
Co-author Fr. Benedict Croell has been called the most successful religious vocation director in America, with over 100 men entering his community during his time of service. Co-author Fr. Andrew Hofer oversaw the initial formation of new brothers, and offers both real-life insights and a solid theological foundation. Together, they amass their considerable experience to provide reliable advice during every stage of vocational discernment.
