Reviews
Dick and Martha Lyles have served the Catholic Church in a variety of capacities, including hosting a radio program devoted to Catholic business (Dick), and religious education and development on the parish level (Martha). In their first joint publication, the Lyles ask the prevalent question, What does God want us to do with our lives? Their goal is to bring all of us closer to sainthood by following a different path--a path unique to each of us, tied to our own unique call and the gifts given to us by God (xiii). In the chapter entitled Stagnation and Complacency, the Lyles show their sense of humor by advocating that [t]o evolve requires change. Once you stop evolving--which means you also stop changing--then you stop living. The only difference between a rut and a grave are the dimensions (48). The chapter Discern Your Work Purpose teaches us to persevere in our careers, in that [t]he more one's union with God increases while working, the more actions that flow from it will bear fruit for souls (126). Complete with faith, family, and work activity self-audit worksheets, and an effective novena to answer one's call, this work is highly recommended for parish libraries, especially adult faith sharing groups seeking to find a common identity. It is well organized and thought out, and stands as a fine beginning on the journey to greater sanctification.--Robert P. Russo, Catholic Library World
