Overview

What does it mean to be intimately and personally called by God to faith? Where does faith come from? How do you respond to cynicism? What does faith mean when you are speechless in the face of suffering? What steps can you take to narrow the gap between vision and reality in your family, prayer group, local parish, religious order, an ecclesial movement? Parishes and faith sharing groups will come back to this book over and over. It overflows with Fr Billy's personal experience, a wealth of references to scripture and encyclicals, challenging reflection questions and meditative prayer settings. Fr. Billy's subtle sense of the Trinitarian nature of a mature faith will help you rediscover faith as the narrative of your life. Father Billy's powerful reflections on faith in the life of the disciple of Christ, with accompanying reflection questions, can be an excellent vehicle for prayer and study groups, RCIA programmes, and ongoing faith formation for adults. Each chapter is packed with personal experiences and substantial theological reflection.
