Disciples - Kenneth R. Overberg S.J.

What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus in today’s world? What is discipleship? 

Disciples: Ordinary People in Extraordinary Times is a collection of a number of articles on a variety of biblical and ethical themes. Many of these articles come from Spirituality and Catholic Update. From this mosaic of articles emerges a portrait of the faithful disciple in the twenty-first century. Disciples develops various aspects of the moral-spiritual life, the life of discipleship, in the midst of the blessings and challenges of everyday lives. Some of those blessings include the wisdom of the scriptures, the grace of Eucharistic celebrations, and the many areas of renewal begun in Vatican II. Some of the challenges include relativism and indifference, poverty and sickness, violence and war, suffering and death. This book, solid theology in a readable style, invites readers into deeper insight, prayer, discussion, and action. It will be useful for individuals and parish groups such as RCIA, Mystagogy, Vincent de Paul, Christian Life Communities, and Just Faith. With profound trust and great hope, Disciples: Ordinary People in Extraordinary Times offers light for following Jesus.
