Walking the Disciple’s Path
Description
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 in her book Walking the Disciple’s Path.
Walking the Disciple’s Path: Eight Steps That Will Change Your Life and the World 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.

“Positive, faith-filled, and mature Christianity.”
“Why do we make the Gospel academic and distant when Jesus is so honest, warm, and real? Why do we make Jesus threatening when in life he was so inviting? Why do we make the message a moral contest instead of a mystical encounter? Well, this fine book will make none of those mistakes. Linda Rooney offers you positive, faith-filled, and mature Christianity.”
