60 Days to Becoming a Missionary Disciple

Love of God and neighbor: Jesus says this is the greatest commandment ... which means that it's also your personal mission - a mission this book will help you to fulfill. Praying through just one of its sixty short, singularly potent chapters each day will usher you through a two-month-long spiritual retreat. It's guaranteed to increase your knowledge of God, to intensify your love for Him, and to cultivate within you the steadfast virtues of a missionary disciple, able and eager to lead others to that same knowledge and love. Are there greater gifts you can receive? And then pass on to others? Masterfully combining Bible passages and Church teachings with practical directions, Fr. John Bartunek, author of the best-selling book The Better Part, here serves as your personal sixty-day retreat master. He shows you how to overcome the inevitable spiritual obstacles you'll face, how to nurture your holy desires so that they become stronger and more vibrant, and how to concentrate every element of your soul and personality in service of loving God and neighbor. Among other things, Fr. Bartunek shows you: What it truly means to be "in Christ," and how that sublime state of soul can be yours, How to regulate your spiritual growth prudently, so as to avoid missteps and burnout, What to do now to let God bring full spiritual maturity to your mind, emotions, and will, How to be conscious of the presence and the action of the Holy Spirit in every moment, How to properly manage the roller coaster of everyday life, And much more to equip you to love God and your neighbor as an enthusiastic missionary disciple!
