Introduction To Religious Life

Religious life is one of the oldest forms of consecrated life in the Church and remains relevant in contemporary society. This book presents religious life as a personal commitment to following Christ in imitation of the first Christian communities, either in a monastic order or an apostolic institute.

This work will be especially helpful for:
– those who feel called to religious life;
– priests and laity who want to learn more about this vocation;
– those involved in religious life formation;
– family and friends of religious who desire to better understand why some choose this path;
– vocation directors in religious communities.
