Walking the Disciples Path: Eight Steps That Will Change Your Life and the World

Linda Perrone Rooney, experienced spiritual director and author of the popular Habits of the Soul, brings over forty years of experience in pastoral leadership to bear as she offers readers an eight-step plan to living as disciples, translating head-knowledge of Christ into everyday action. Walking the Disciple's Path challenges readers to live as disciples--actively putting into practice the values, behaviors, and teachings of Jesus. With exceptionally graceful prose, Rooney walks readers through the gospel, moving from understanding to transformation--from head to heart to action--combining the intellectual and spiritual "aha moments" that impel us to follow Christ more intentionally. Rooney eloquently describes eight scripturally based steps that lead readers to a change of heart: surrender yourself daily, live as a blessing, overcome violence, give for the right reasons, pray like Jesus, see the good in others, offer compassion and healing, and live without fear.
