FORMING INTENTIONAL DISCIPLES The Path to Knowing and Following Jesus by SHERRY A. WEDDELL
These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these trends for the U.S.: Only 30% of Americans raised as Catholic are still practicing; Marriages celebrated in the Church decreased by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010; and Fully 10% of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized–in other words, Catholics in the pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to Him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of this book, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff, and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Paper.
