Faithful, Engaged, Direct.

Belief declines, but our relationship with God need not dissolve. Carrell Jamilano offers a practical, honest “return to God” call that meets young adult readers and their parents where they are. She recognizes the struggles of faith because she has experienced them herself. These range from actively questioning God’s presence to routine boredom and distractions. Jamilano reminds us God seeks relationship with us in all places, usual and unusual alike. She offers practical advice to start and maintain a prayer life that alerts readers to God’s abundant and sustaining love. — Dr. Jeffrey Marlett, The College of St. Rose

I wish this book had been available when I was a young Catholic!

Knowing that experience is the basis of all theology that is worth the name, Carrell Jamilano has woven together seamlessly her education and her personal experience as both inquirer and director to create this guidebook for young people seeking an experiential basis for their faith. She presents traditional, time-honored practices, such as the five types of prayer and the rosary, as liberating rather than constraining, showing the reader how they can creatively use those methods to create a distinctive path filled with the joy and love of a deeply faith-filled life.

With eminently practical tips and insightful reflection questions, Carrell offers direction to help her reader truly “find God in all things.” Although it is written especially for young adult Catholics and teens, anyone who wants to deepen and revitalize their relationship with God will richly benefit from finding a place for this book on their bookshelf and in their heart. — Pamela Hedrick, St. Joseph's College of Maine
