What People Are Saying

“The sense of adventure has been drowned out in modernity, but an ember remains, ready to burn brightly and engulf us. The Adventure of Discipleship reminds us that our lives are a drama so significant that Jesus Christ came into the world to take us on adventure with him. The only adequate response is a no-holds-barred life of discipleship, on mission to bring others into the embrace of Our Lord—and Keating’s book helps us begin this adventure!”
Curtis Martin
Founder and President, Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS)
“Using the lens of ‘adventure,’ Daniel Keating presents a wonderfully fresh vision of Christian discipleship. He is equally at home drawing from Scripture, J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and contemporary adventure tales like Lost and Batman Begins—appealing especially to young adults who are seeking more in their spiritual life. The Adventure of Discipleship is the sort of book that engages, invites, and challenges. You may want to buy several and give them away to your young adult friends.”
Mary Healy
Professor of Sacred Scripture, Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit, MI
“This book is about true friendship, how to endure suffering, and how to offer our lives to God along the path of real peace. At the same time, drawing upon The Lord of the Rings, superhero movies, and other rich storytelling, Keating shows that most of us don’t actually want peace—we want our lives to be a meaningful and glorious adventure. The inspiring achievement of this book, then, is to demonstrate that life in Christ provides the peace that is also the greatest possible adventure.”

“As all adventures are exciting, so the reading of this book is itself invigorating. One cannot help but be caught up into the adventure of following Christ, no matter what the cost, for one perceives that it is a journey of faith, hope and love together with Jesus himself. This is an admirable book for those Christians who wish to be more fully Jesus’ disciples and an effective book to place in the hands of those who are being evangelized.”
