You’re invited to our upcoming talk with Fr. James Brent, O.P., priest of the Order of Preachers and theologian, on his book The Father’s House: Discovering Our Home In The Trinity.
Fr. Brent’s talk will offer you a glimpse of his book, which addresses the questions of life’s purpose, personal identity, and the human being’s search for love, and shows how friendship with Jesus Christ answers these questions. The Father’s House is on sale at the CIC bookstore.
The event will be offered both in-person and virtually through YouTube. Please RSVP today.
October 10th Schedule:
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.
“If you want to know the meaning of life, if you long to know who you are and Whose you are, if your heart aches to love and to be loved, this book will guide you to the answers and bring you into communion with the One who holds them.”
from the Foreword by Sister Bethany Madonna, SV
“Elegantly written, The Father’s House explores the human experience in light of Trinitarian theology to delve into the true meaning of our existence. It is both accessible to the average reader and packed with the profound truths of the Faith.”
Edward Sri
Theologian and Author of The Art of Living
“This book is a profound retreat for the mind and heart. It is a clear, luminous, and concentrated meditation on the mystery of Christianity for our practical and spiritual lives. Fr. Brent seeks to interpret the inner life of the human soul from the perspective of eternity, seeing the created order in light of the Trinity, and understanding the human person as a spiritual creature made for the Trinity. This is a book that invites and challenges us to a greater interiority and a closer proximity to the mystery of Christ.”
Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P.
