If we will just slow down and observe, even something as seemingly mundane as a road sign can convey a powerful lesson.

North Carolina State Trooper My goodness, Bernie, this is amazing. Never thought of this but it is simple and profound. We can see road signs differently after reading your devotionals. The pictures are wonderful, too and Proverbs come alive in a new way.

Download or read book Young Catholic America written by Christian Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Review at the Catholic Press Association Convention Studies of young American Catholics over the last three decades suggest a growing crisis in the Catholic Church: compared to their elders, young Catholics are looking to the Church less as they form their identities, and fewer of them can even explain what it means to be Catholic and why that matters. Young Catholic America, the latest book based on the groundbreaking National Study of Youth and Religion, explores a crucial stage in the life of Catholics. Drawing on in-depth surveys and interviews of Catholics and ex-Catholics ages 18 to 23--a demographic commonly known as early "emerging adulthood"--leading sociologist Christian Smith and his colleagues offer a wealth of insight into the wide variety of religious practices and beliefs among young Catholics today, the early influences and life-altering events that lead them to embrace the Church or abandon it, and how being Catholic affects them as they become full-fledged adults. Beyond its rich collection of statistical data, the book includes vivid case studies of individuals spanning a full decade, as well as insight into the twentieth-century events that helped to shape the Church and its members in America. An innovative contribution to what we know about religion in the United States and the evolving Catholic Church, Young Catholic America is the definitive source for anyone seeking to understand what it means to be young and Catholic in America today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors speak to us in humility but with a confidence and courage which is often lacking in our own Christian discipleship. Their use of personal experiences and "story" echo that of the Master Himself...I am sure you will enjoy reading the different reflections in the book and I know it will repay your time and attention a hundredfold." Bishop Mark O'Toole, Chair of the Catholic Bishop's Department of Evangelization and Catechesis (UK). "I have read enough of your booklet to be able to say that it will prove helpful not only to teenagers and young adults but also to others in a much older age group. For instance, I found the chapter on prayer as inspiring and helpful as many books written for priests and religious." Cardinal Wilfred Napier, South Africa."I have no hesitation in recommending this very contemporary book for the remarkable ways in which it brings many of the eternal truths of our faith alive in new, exciting and memorable ways...I am convinced that 'Essentials for Catholic Teens' is important to God, and will speak very powerfully to all those who read it, just as it has to me." Charles Whitehead, Chairman of the International Charismatic Consultation (ICC), Director of Premier Christian Radio, and Founder of Celebrate Catholic Conference. "If only I had this book when I was 15. Now at 67, and with the 'experience' of age I realise what I have missed! It is packed with a series of personal journeys to better know and love Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The guidance is illustrated with Scripture, the Catechism, sayings of the Saints and grounded by the personal life encounters of the varied young contributors...It is the road map to life on fire with the Holy Spirit. It should be required reading for all young people in our parishes and schools." Deacon Andrew Shute, Plymouth Diocese"With so many challenges for young people, they need the fuel to stand for Christ and run the race. In 'Essentials for Catholic Teen's, it encourages young Catholics to live life to the full in Christ (John 10:10). The Holy Spirit leaps off the pages and is a great resource for all young people. We highly recommend this book to all Catholic Teens." Mario and Anna Cappello, Founders of the ICPE Mission.Essentials for Catholic Teens is all about connecting with God. It is in God that we live and move and have our being. This book is there to help you connect with God.Written by nineteen authors from eight countries and four continents, Essentials speaks from heart to heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As human beings we are constantly engaging and disengaging in everything we do. We engage and disengage at work, in marriage, as parents, in our quest for health and well-being, in personal finances, environmentally, politically, and, of course, we engage or disengage spiritually. If you walk into any Catholic church next Sunday and look around, you will discover that some people are highly engaged, others are massively disengaged, and the majority are somewhere in between. Why? What is the difference between highly engaged Catholics and disengaged Catholics? Answering this question is essential to the future of the Catholic Church. If we truly want to engage Catholics and reinvigorate parish life, we must first discover what drives engagement among Catholics. Matthew Kelly explores this question in his groundbreaking new book, and the simplicity of what he discovers will amaze you. Four things make the difference between highly engaged Catholics and disengaged Catholics: the four signs of a Dynamic Catholic. Whether you are ready to let God take your spiritual life to the next level or want to help reinvigorate your parish, The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic promises to take you on a journey that will help you live out the genius of Catholicism in your everyday life.

There must be another way around.After a particularly disastrous Thanksgiving (his cousin wets Andrew's bed; his parents were too chicken to tell him his grandmother died), Andrew accidentally (on purpose) runs away and joins the circus. Kind of.A guy can meet the most interesting people at the Greyhound station at dinnertime on Thanksgiving day. The Freegans are exactly the kinds of friends (living out of an ancient VW camper van, dumpster diving, dressing like clowns and busking for change)who would have Andrew's mom reaching for a third glass of Chardonnay. To Andrew, five teenagers who seem like they've found another way to grow up are a dream come true. But as the VW winds its way across the USA, the future is anything but certain.The path of least resistance is a long, strange trip.
