MONTHLY UPDATE

My latest book, CATCHING FIRE, BECOMING FLAME: A Guide for Spiritual Transformation, is selling briskly! A DVD with the same title is also selling well and can be used as a follow-up for the newly baptized in a RCIA program, by adult faith formation groups, or by individuals who seek to deepen their spiritual lives at home. The DVD consists of six 30-minute presentations based upon the book -- just perfect for personal viewing or by groups! You can order it here.

I'll be the hour-long guest on Relevant Radio's ON CALL WITH WENDY WIESE on Wednesday, June 26, at 1pm Central. We'll be taking your phone calls. I always enjoy being on Wendy's show. It's fun!

I'll be the hour-long guest on Relevant Radio's THE INNER LIFE WITH CHUCK NEFF on Wednesday, May 22 at 11am Central. We'll be discussing spiritual direction. What is it? How does it differ from counseling and having a life coach? What do you look for in a spiritual director? Do you pay for it? This is going to be my first time on Chuck's show.

Have you gotten your copy of THE ABCs OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE? Professionally printed on sturdy card stock, this tri-fold brochure is a "quick start guide" to experiencing the graces and fruits of our rich spiritual tradition. It offers you 52 spiritual practices and reminders with their appropriate Scripture passage -- practice one a week for a solid year! Use the tri-fold brochure for a personal day of reflection at home, a weekend retreat away or as an examination of conscience before the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You'll soon discover this to be your very own "personal retreat in a pamphlet." Interested in a copy? Drop me an email.

I'm often asked about the topics included in my Workshop on Spirituality. Click here to find out.
