Exploring the deep spiritual impact of the question Jesus asked his friends James and John, Nouwen reflects upon the metaphor of the cup, using the images of holding, lifting, and drinking to articulate the basics of the spiritual life.

What is it that motivates you? What is your goal in this life? How are you coping and making sense of the trials and difficulties that you are facing today or will face in the furture?

Kramer Soderberg - College basketball coach and first time author, allows you the reader to join him on his personal spiritual quest while coaching, motivating, and pushing you to grow in your own relationship with Christ and reap all the wonderful spiritual gifts that God and his Church are offering you.

As a Church, as Christians, and as followers of Jesus Christ we so often forget, as we all desperately search and scramble for what we want and need in this life, that all those desires we are chasing can be found in the same place and are given by the same person. "Fill Your Cup for Christ" takes you on the spiritual journey of an everyday sleepwalking cradle Catholic who was searching to get more out of his faith life. Kramer Soderberg--through stories, strategies, and some in your face coaching tactics--helps his readers grow in their relationship with Jesus, enhance their understanding of Catholic Church teaching, and ignite the desire to become the saint God is calling all of us all to be. Simple, genuine, and easy to read, "Fill Your Cup for Christ" is a life-changing book for Christians in all stages of life!
