<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Come Follow Me is a series of reflections based on the assigned Gospel reading for the Sundays of a liturgical year. It can facilitate both personal discipleship study of the Gospels as well promote small group discipleship discussions. It is useful for parishioners, homilists, and parish staff.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In recent years there has been an intensified focus on the development of discipleship-based parish ministries especially in the Catholic Church. Making disciples is the great and enduring Commission Jesus gave to the Church in Matthew 28:19. Contemporary writings by Sherry Weddell, Rev. Michael White, Rev. James Mallon and others along with movements like FOCUS Missionaries, the Augustine Institute, Dynamic Catholic, Real Life Catholic, Word on Fire, and Amazing Parish have all assisted in the transformation of parochial ministries from maintenance to mission-focused endeavors. In this book, Bishop Mueggenborg presents a simple resource that can help enrich the faith lives of parishioners and assist them in becoming missionary disciples.</p><p>These reflections are based on the Gospel readings assigned to a given Sunday in the Liturgical Year. Each reflection identifies some significant elements in the Gospel passage followed by application questions that challenge a disciple's faith life. The reflections are designed for use in either small group Bible studies or as a resource for individual prayer and contemplation. The reflections intentionally start with the brevity and simplicity of Advent before developing into more complex explorations of the biblical text as the year progresses. The Word of God is alive, powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword (Heb 4:12). <em>Come Follow Me</em> is a tried and proven resource that helps to unleash the power of the Word in the hearts of Christ's disciples.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>At the heart of growing closer to Jesus and growing as a disciple is the study of and meditation on<br /> Scripture. Monsignor Daniel Mueggenborg's brief but meaty commentaries on the Sunday Gospel<br /> readings for Year B come with thought-provoking questions and simple instructions for use in small<br /> groups. This will be an especially helpful resource for small groups of disciples who desire to go deeper<br /> in their relationship with Christ.</em></p><p><br /> Sherry Weddell, Co-Director, Catherine of Siena Institute and author of Forming Intentional Disciples<br /> <em>Reading the Bible is a daunting challenge for most of us. We need tools that help us to take it in a little<br /> bit at a time. Monsignor Mueggenborg has prepared just such a tool to help Catholics digest each<br /> Sunday's Gospel reading. Meditating on the same Scripture readings that Catholics around the world<br /> will hear on Sunday prepares us to enter into the liturgy with our whole heart, mind and spirit.</em><br /> Carole Brown, Director of the Office of Evangelization and Discipleship, <br /> Archdiocese of Oklahoma City</p><p><br /> <em>These reflections by Monsignor Mueggenborg provide us not only with wonderfully clear and<br /> illuminating insights into the Gospel texts, they also powerfully draw us, by the authority of their faith<br /> conviction, into nothing less than a personal living encounter with Christ Jesus.</em><br /> Rev. Paul Murray, OP, Professor at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Rome</p><br>
