Publisher's Synopsis
An accessible guide to evangelization for the average Catholic, popular speaker, bestselling author, and experienced FOCUS missionary Kevin Cotter presents thirty-five brief and engaging meditations that provide Catholics with the conviction and tools for sharing Jesus with others. Based on the principles of evangelization taught by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), Called invites you to delve into powerful scenes from Jesus' life, plus stories from the lives of saints such as Augustine, Mother Teresa, and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, as you explore how the call to discipleship is at the heart of scripture in ancient Israel, the life of Jesus, and the apostolic Church. Cotter accompanies you through five weeks of study: Week One: Reflect on Jesus' initial call of his disciples and how he calls you to radically love and follow him. Week Two: Examine the characteristics of a daily commitment to discipleship. Week Three: Discover how our current culture compares to the world Jesus faced. Develop the desire to save our world and draw others to God. Week Four: Unpack the tools Jesus used to touch every person he came into contact with. Become equipped with what you need to reach others for him. Week Five: Learn that you also are called to make disciples of others. You will come away with the understanding that being a disciple of Jesus is essential to our identity as members of a missionary Church.
