Synopsis

Stories are the stuff of life and everyone loves a story. How better to learn about our faith than through brief anecdotes followed by to-the-point reflections! Here Father John Hillier offers 425 such anecdotes and Scripture notes about topics of deep relevance for Catholic spirituality today: discipleship, conversion, adversity, conflict, prejudice, perseverance, tragedy, courage, and compassion. His reflections offer a Catholic take on a multitude of human experiences and thus are informative as well as enjoyable to read. His hope is that through these stories and reflections readers will be inspired to spend more time in prayer and reflection and thus come to a deeper realization of God s presence in all their daily experiences. In his own words, his goal is to help readers discover God s abiding presence and providential concern in the ordinary and sometimes mundane circumstances of their lives. This is a highly recommended resource for parish ministry teams, catechists, RCIA catechumens, homilists, and all who seek a deeper understanding of their Catholic spirituality.
