About the Book:

What is the purpose of life? Who am I? How do I find love?

Father James Dominic Brent, OP, shows how friendship with Jesus Christ answers these burning questions. This approachable guide to the spiritual life explains how to live a transformative friendship with Christ that leads us to the fullness of life “in the Father’s house.”

With an artful blend of catechesis and narrative, Father Brent frames the gospel as the answer to the most pressing human questions about identity and purpose. He guides readers through a contemplative gaze at the Trinity, the story of the Fall and its consequences, the anthropology of the human heart, and our final destiny in God. He shines a light on the conflicting thoughts, movements, and desires that afflict us and charts a sure path to discerning truth from error to discover our true selves. Born from many years of preaching, teaching, and college ministry, The Father’s House: Discovering Our Home in the Trinity is stimulating and timely reading for catechists, young adult ministers, chaplains, and Catholics searching for a deeper, fuller life of friendship with God in the Trinity.
