To Save a Thousand Souls

$19.95

By Father Brett Brannen

In what has been hailed as “a groundbreaking work” Fr. Brett Brannen compiles all the wisdom of a master Vocation Director into one volume. Using powerful and entertaining stories, the book explains in down-to-earth language how to discern a vocation to diocesan priesthood.

The book has received universal praise from bishops and vocation directors: "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

To Save a Thousand Souls is the definitive guide for men considering the priesthood. Using powerful and entertaining stories, this easy-to-read book explains how to carefully discover God’s call. To Save a Thousand Souls is used by hundreds of dioceses and thousands of seminarians. Many regard it as the standard “catechism for discernment,” with Bishop Robert Barron calling it a “classic of the genre." It has been re-printed in Europe and Asia and translated into Spanish, French, Romanian, and Vietnamese.
