Critics Review
As I personally discerned priesthood and, for over a decade, accompanied many university students through their personal journey of vocational discernment, I wish I would have had as much practical advice at my fingertips as this book provides. Fr. Elliott has done a fantastic job of compiling the most important principles to keep in mind while one is trying to figure out God’s will for their vocation. The personal insights are fantastic and certainly resonate with my journey which eventually led me to the vocation of marriage.
-Jeff Runyan, Sr. Director of International Relations - Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS)
In a world in which the very idea of “vocation” is a counter-cultural concept, many parents and educators need support in encouraging young people to open their hearts and hear God’s voice. In this easy-to-read book, Fr. George Elliott accomplishes the seemingly impossible: He clarifies the call to holiness and holds his readers to a high standard for answering it. Fr. Elliott teaches young people to cultivate a habit of prayerful listening so as to discern with clarity the specific ways in which God is calling them to holiness. The result is a useful and inspiring resource for personal discernment - a real gift to families and to the Church!
