Book Launch!
I am excited to announce my first book is now available! Part retelling of my life story, part reflection on years of ministry, The Path of Discernment, is both edifying story and practical guide. Click here to order!
Whether we are discerning a career change or have been in the same pattern for many years, often the question pops up: is this really where I'm supposed to be? When we instead re-focus to look for where God is already present, discernment becomes less about finding the perfect path but rather allowing God to bring new, refreshed life where we are. With this new found freedom, we can better listen to God's call which will lead us down a path of lasting fulfillment and build up the reign of God.
I decided to write this book as a practical response to the people I served in parish ministry. What does it mean to be the best engineer, the best teacher, the best cook? All of these paths can lead to holiness if we are open to God's transformative grace. This books helps us to look back at our stories, be more firmly rooted in Christ's love, and respond boldly to where God is leading us. I hope you enjoy!
