Make Better Decisions with the Desert Fathers

Father Augustine Wetta reaches back into monastic history to answer one of the most critical questions young people face: “How do I make up my mind?” With his characteristic wit and novel approach to classical art, he looks to the Desert Fathers to unearth an ancient method for resolving life’s most pressing dilemmas. In three steps, each broken down into three parts, the book teaches how to make decisions with peace, joy, focus, and openness to the ever-prodding finger of God. Each chapter is illustrated with reproductions of famous artworks, and embellished with comic flourishes.
Father Wetta also provides a discernment worksheet to help anyone facing a difficult decision. Available for purchase on Ignatius Press and Amazon.com
