Becoming a
Fervent Desciple
Theory is one thing, practice another. While sketching out Pope Francis’s hope and dream that we all become missionary disciples, Deacon John Lozano describes the ways and means of doing this in a practical, pastoral, and challenging fashion. A revolutionary guidebook here! – BISHOP ROBERT F. MORNEAU, Green Bay, Wisconsin
Deacon John Lozano’s fine book reminds us all how deeply Jesus loves us and desires us to experience how this love can transform our lives. Engaging stories from his pastoral ministry are full of practical wisdom for developing a deeper, more nourishing prayer life, and for growing in a real, adult relationship of love and service with Christ. – FR. JOHN RANDALL SACHS, SJ, Associate Professor, Boston College School of Theology & Ministry
This is one of those rare books that is both inspired and accessible. Becoming a Fervent Disciple is a true gift for anyone looking to grow their relationship with God and help others in their community to do the same. – MATTHEW E. MANION, Faculty Director, Villanova University School of Business Center for Church Management, Former President and CEO, Catholic Leadership Institute
Good News
in Bad times
Life is difficult. We live in exceedingly difficult times. This book is a collection of stories and reflections that offer us new ways of thinking and believing, not despite the Bad Times but in the midst of them.
With humor, humility, and humanness, John Lozano shares stories and reflections that throw light on our spiritual struggles and our search for meaning. Some powerful witnesses and real Good News here. – ROBERT F. MORNEAU, Bishop of Green Bay, Wisconsin
We need teaching today that gets beyond mere cliches and the predictable. Here is such guidance and such wisdom. This is true Good News, and nothing that merely feeds into our shame, fear, or guilt. – RICHARD ROHR, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation
