All parishioners are invited to a book signing with CTK's own Jill Simons! Join us as we celebrate her recently released book, "The Essential Handbook on Living Your Charisms." If her name sounds familiar, it is because over the last year, she has been instrumental in helping our parishioners understand their charisms or God-given gifts.
She will be available in Fletcher Hall on Sunday, Nov. 17, following all three morning Masses for a book signing. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Enjoy sweet treats and pick up a signed copy of what is undoubtedly a great read!
----- About the Book Many Catholics desire to live their faith well, but many don’t know how to do that - not because they don't know or love their faith enough, but because they have never put language to the specific role they are being asked to play within the Church. Enter charisms: the personal, supernatural graces you receive to build the Church in the unique way only you can.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "discernment of charisms is always necessary" and that "no charism is exempt from submission to the Church," but there has never been a comprehensive guide on how to do this (CCC 801).
This practical book not only explains charisms and answers many frequently asked questions but also walks with you through the testing and post-discernment phases of the charism process. Through short, actionable, and easy-to-read chapters on each charism, you'll grow in your knowledge of them and be prepared to use and troubleshoot them as you grow in service and intimacy with God.
