This book glows with time-tested wisdom as an experienced spiritual director shares the secrets of the saints. Feel cold? Or maybe just smoldering? With supplemental reading suggestions and reflection questions, this eminently practical book functions like a personal, spiritual retreat.

  • Shows you how to respond to God’s fiery passion, how to engage it, and, most important, how to be changed by it.

Praise for Catching Fire, Becoming Flame: A Guide for Spiritual Transformation

There are far too many books on “how to” live a successful spiritual life. Unfortunately, most offer a methodology that works for some rather than a broader approach suitable for all. By blending the ancient with the contemporary, offering experiential stories, and suggesting multiple possible starting points, Haase invites renewal.

  • Overall, how would you describe your spiritual health?
  • What spiritual practices have you found to resonate and/or have the greatest meaning at this stage of your life?
