"Fr. Brannen's book is tremendous—inspirational, imminently practical, and amazingly comprehensive. It is a clearly written "how to" manual filled with solid advice for men discerning the priesthood. A marvelous work of immense value."

- Fr. Len Plazewski, President, National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors

"This is an outstanding book, specifically for diocesan priests and those concerned with their work and spirituality. A really needed book in this Year for Priests."

- Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R.

"This is the best book-length treatment of discerning a priestly vocation I've seen. In particular, Fr. Brannen's treatment of celibacy is balanced and comprehensive. The book portrays the priesthood honestly and attractively, clearly expressing that faithfully living an authentic priestly vocation is an exhilarating, fulfilling, and joyful life."

-Most Rev. William E. Lori, Diocese of Bridgeport, CT

"Fr. Brett Brannen is the perfect priest to write this book. His wisdom, knowledge, and obvious passion for priestly formation shine through on every page."

- Fr. Luke Ballman, Vocation Director, Archdiocese of Atlanta, GA

"I compliment Fr. Brannen for this breakthrough work. I enjoyed the book's conversational style and anecdotal stories, and I am especially impressed by the chapter on celibacy and chastity, which achieves remarkable clarity on difficult issues of discernment. It is a clear, helpful, and down-to-earth book which will prove exceptionally useful for men looking for answers about the priesthood, as well as those assisting them in discernment."

-Most Rev. John J. Myers, Archdiocese of Newark, NJ

" This book is a real Godsend. There is simply nothing else like it in print. It will certainly be one of the most useful tools at a Vocation Director's disposal when encouraging young men to consider the priesthood. It is clear, convincing, and candid. The many stories throughout the book are inspiring and very much to the point. Not only do I wish that I had this available when I was a Vocation Director, I wish that it had been available to me as a young man considering a vocation to the priesthood. It would have answered so many of my questions. All those involved in priestly vocation work owe Fr. Brannen a debt of gratitude."

-Msgr. Steven P. Rohlfs, Rector, Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Emmitsburg, MD

"This book is anointed. It's both inspiring and informative, and will be a tremendous help for men who are hesitant about priesthood and need practical advice. I know I will order copies for every man in my diocese who is discerning."

-Fr. Tim McKeown, Vocation Director for the Diocese of Savannah, GA

"An unparalleled resource that covers everything men need to know when praying about their vocation. It will be required reading for my men."

-Msgr. Rob Panke, Director of Priest Vocations and Formation, Archdiocese of Washington D.C.
