Discipleship for Catholic Men, Embracing God's Plan for Our Life
Discipleship for Catholic Men is essentially a handbook on the basics of discipleship, to be studied as a workbook. Discipleship is embracing God’s plan for our lives. If the general goals of God’s plan for your life are to be with him, to become like him and love what he loves, then this workbook describes how God uses his Holy Spirit, Scripture, the Church, the Lives of the Saints and other tools to bring this about.
Discipleship for Catholic Men helps a group of men grapple with the question of what it means for Jesus to be Lord of our life and to be disciples in the modern, secular world. The book is broken into 38 practical studies on prayer, spiritual battle, the Holy Spirit, growth in holiness, examination of conscience, evangelism, and mission. Discipleship for Catholic Men, sponsored by the National Fellowship of Catholic Men, has an excellent appendix of how to transform a fellowship group into a group of on-fire disciples.
This workbook breaks down God’s work of implementing his plan in your life into three processes: Conversion; Transformation; and Mobilization. Part I identifies God‘s call of discipleship to all Catholic men in six lessons, while Part II is comprised of thirty-two lessons on the being formed as disciples of Christ. Each lesson also includes application exercises, discussion questions, or both. Most lessons also feature relevant passages from Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Discipleship for Catholic Men is designed to be used by two or more men meeting regularly for about one hour to review and discuss each lesson.
