Mission and Identity Book Club Returns

10/11/2017

SLU’s Mission and Identity Book Club resumes this academic year with the selection, What’s Your Decision? How to Make Choices with Confidence and Clarity by J. Michael Sparough, S.J., Tim Hipskind, S.J., and Jim Manney. The club is open to all interested faculty and staff.

The book will be provided by the Office of Mission and Identity for those taking part in the club. Groups are forming now. SLU community members can participate in two ways, through organizing a reading group or registering individually. Those registering individually will be connected to others to form a reading group.

Discussion groups will meet every other week, or as decided by the group.

All participants are invited to an opening and closing event. A kick-off luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., on Tuesday, Oct. 31, in the College Church Ballroom.

This year’s selection offers a time-tested, trustworthy approach to making good decisions, based on the insights of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits and the author of the Spiritual Exercises, one of history’s most influential spiritual texts. Throughout this fast-moving and highly practical book, the authors present an “Ignatian toolkit” for making sound choices. Ultimately, the authors contend, when we invite God – who cares deeply about what we do – into the decision-making process, we find the freedom to make the best choice.
