Called on the Way: The Daily Practice of Discipleship
Discipleship is not a program to be implemented or a goal to be achieved but a lifelong walk with Christ, who is the way.
Our calling by Christ to be his disciples is so fundamental to our faith that we sometimes fail to realize its meaning. What does it mean to be called? What is a disciple? In Called on the The Daily Practice of Discipleship, authors Kathleen Cahalan and Laura Kelly Fanucci explore through personal stories, Scripture readings, and prayer experiences, what it means to be called a disciple “on the way.”
Through our roles and relationships, each person is blessed with many callings to heed God’s invitation to follow the way of Christ. Calling is something we do, someone we are, and someone we become and the image of “the way” is the central biblical theme of our journey together. Called on the Way includes seven practical ways you can understand and live out your own call to discipleship as a follower, worshiper, witness, neighbor, forgiver, prophet, and steward. Each chapter includes a personal story, biblical foundation, and connections to saintly and sacramental practice. Reflection questions help identify how you and your parish community can live the life of discipleship in the time and place where God is leading you and calling you now.

A very good book, 4.5 stars!
I see this book as a possible “Lenten book club” tool for parishes; a great add-on to Adult Confirmation classes for Catholics; a wonderful catalyst for thought between a Spiritual Director and their mentees who may want a “structure” to help them reflect on the meaning of their Christian faith.
The key component for myself was to actually sit with the end-chapter questions instead of just jotting down answers. I took prayer time to answer each one and found myself needing to break up my time by only answering one question every morning…..something you may want to try. Otherwise, the questions easily seem “route” and “been there done that” attitude may arise, subsequently blocking any hope of gaining insights from the book at all.
