Si pudieras hacer una pregunta a Dios, ¿qué le dirías? ¿Sería algo sobre el mundo, sobre tu salud, sobre tus propias emociones? ¿Qué te gustaría saber del amor, la amistad, el sexo? En estas páginas descubrirás que la conversación más importante no es sólo la que Neale Donald Walsch tuvo con Dios en un determinado momento de su vida, sino la que tú tengas con Él a partir de ahora. El diálogo y tu propia reflexión te ayudarán a superar los obstáculos y a conseguir lo que te propongas. Y no lo olvides: no hay mejor ocasión para intercambiar unas palabras con Él que ahora mismo. Si alguna vez te preguntaste «¿Dios me escucha? ¿De verdad puede ayudarme? ¿Le importo lo suficiente? ¿Existe un poder superior que pueda resolver mis dudas?», este libro es para ti. Reseña: «Haber tenido la compañía de un libro como éste hace unos años me hubieraahorrado muchos momentos de sufrimiento y de soledad.» Alanis Morissette

Examines the concerns shared by many of today's young people while addressing questions that teens may ask of God, offering guidance on building healthy relationships, accepting responsibility, and acquiring self-esteem.

This framework, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in June 2024, gives guidance for the Catholic Church in accompanying and evangelizing young people: youth (in junior high and high school) and young adults (in their late teens, 20s, and 30s). The methodology is rooted in the Gospel story of the road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-35) and invites pastoral leaders and families, in their engagement with young people, to imitate Jesus who listens attentively, teaches from the heart, and sends disciples into the world. The document begins with a preface letter addressed directly from the U.S. Bishops to youth and young adults and continues with the three-part framework text for pastoral ministers, families, and young leaders in the Church.

How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. 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 Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.
