Living Your Discipleship

Seven Ways to Express Your Deepest Calling

Living your DiscipleshipKathleen A. Cahalan and Laura Kelly Fanucci

23rd Publications, 2015

Read an excerpt from this book »

In Living Your Discipleship, Kathleen A. Cahalan, Director of the Collegeville Institute Seminars, and Laura Kelly Fanucci, Research Associate for the Seminars, explore seven features of discipleship: follower, worshiper, witness, neighbor, forgiver, prophet, and steward.

Drawing from real-life stories, the authors connect each feature of discipleship with key Scriptural texts, Catholic saints, the sacraments, liturgical practices and hymns commonly sung in Catholic parishes. This book is intended for Catholics and other Christians, ranging from youth to older adults. It includes resources for lectio divina prayer and is perfect for use in small groups.

Kathleen A. Cahalan, Ph.D., is Professor of Theology at Saint John’s University School of Theology Seminary and the author of Opening the Field of Practical Theology (Rowman and Littlefield), and Introducing the Practice of Ministry (Liturgical Press).

Laura Kelly Fanucci is the author of Everyday Sacrament: The Messy Grace of Parenting (Liturgical Press). She is a contributor at CatholicMom.com and blogs at Mothering Spirit.
