The Nile on eBay   Called on the Way by Kathleen A. Cahalan, Laura Kelly Fanucci

Discipleship is not a program to be implemented or a goal to be achieved but a lifelong walk with Christ, who is the way.Our calling by Christ to be his disciples is so fundamental to our faith that we sometimes fail to realize its meaning. What does it mean to be called? What is a disciple? In Called on the Way: The Daily Practice of Discipleship, authors Kathleen Cahalan and Laura Kelly Fanucci explore through personal stories, Scripture readings, and prayer experiences, what it means to be called a disciple "on the way."Through our roles and relationships, each person is blessed with many callings to heed God's invitation to follow the way of Christ. Calling is something we do, someone we are, and someone we become and the image of "the way" is the central biblical theme of our journey together. Called on the Way includes seven practical ways you can understand and live out your own call to discipleship as a follower, worshiper, witness, neighbor, forgiver, prophet, and steward. Each chapter includes a personal story, biblical foundation, and connections to saintly and sacramental practice. Reflection questions help identify how you and your parish community can live the life of discipleship in the time and place where God is leading you and calling you now.

Review

"Called on the Way is a highly accessible invitation to discipleship, with Kathleen Cahalan and Laura Fanucci as gentle and wise guides. The book describes what it means to be a 'called disciple on the way' in clear language, amplified by Scripture, stories of saints, the authors' own narratives, and helpful reflection questions at the end of each chapter. The book brings the authors' many years of work on vocation to a broad audience; this is a faith-filled, intelligent book for individuals or small groups, highly recommended."Claire Wolfteich, Boston University"Kathleen Cahalan and Laura Kelly Fanucci offer a comprehensive, practical, and dynamic approach to the components of Christian discipleship. The authors skillfully navigate an area that is often subjected to program development and market trends, instead offering skills for the way of discipleship rooting in Christ's call and the life-long following of His way. This is a text that will be equally effective when read and reflected upon by individuals, parish small groups, or in theology classrooms."Larry Fraher, PhD, director of faith formation and education at Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Parish, Scottsdale, Arizona"Much pastoral literature on discipleship tends to focus on one dimension of Christian life at the expense of others. Not Called on the Way, which is an integrative initiation into the art of discipleship inspired by a Catholic vision of the world. Each of the chapters witnesses the gift of a relationship with Jesus Christ. The book is practical, but grounded in the fruit of contemplation of the Word of God. I recommend this book for parishes and individuals alike who want to follow the way of Jesus Christ more fruitfully."Timothy P. O'Malley, Academic Director, Notre Dame Center for Liturgy"This volume focuses on the content of discipleship and the personal experience of following Jesus. With reflection questions at the end of each chapter, Called on the Way can serve as personal spiritual reading or as a text for a Bible study group."The Bible Today"Informative and a pleasant read, this book is recommended for laypeople interested in more nearly following the Lord Jesus in their everyday lives."Catholic Library World
