Product Description

•••••

Regardless of your intentions, you might easily become so engrossed in transitory pursuits — "the things of this world" — that you forget about God and His close, persistent presence in your life. But, with the aid of this book, you may change that by conducting an analysis of your life that will lead you to Jesus Christ.

It is not enough to simply identify as a Christian or to attend Sunday Mass: you must choose to live for God rather than for yourself. Archbishop Alban Goodier describes how dedicating oneself to God will ennoble you, while God provides you with wonderful gifts to help you do so. He explains the many methods in which you might achieve joy by rising above the problems of this world, even while going about your regular business! He demonstrates how the mere existence of God, much alone spiritual intimacy with Him, provides significance and dignity to your life in ways that worldly riches or achievement cannot.

Overcoming Worldly Concerns is a much-needed wake-up call for every "comfortable Christian." It is uncompromising, sharp, and comprehensive.

Give yourself completely to God and learn:

the little-known fact that will inspire you to resist sin with all your strength
the ways in which you’ve been throwing away God’s grace
the secret of the saints that makes them such a powerful help for you today — if only you ask for that help
how you can be certain of God’s love for you at any given moment
how you can arm yourself for the spiritual warfare that is sure to beset your soul
the many forms and levels of prayer (and why just knowing them is not enough)
The most common hindrances to prayer — and how to overcome them
