All In: Breaking Barriers to Discerning the Priesthood

Many are called – but how do you really know if you’re chosen?

This book speaks to the most common objections raised by young men considering the priesthood.

• I can’t be celibate.
• My family and friends are unsupportive.
• I just need to take more time to discern.
• I am unsure.
• Marriage is better.
• I’m not worthy.

This book looks at every difficulty – and overcomes them all, so men can simplify their discernment and take active steps to discern God’s will in their lives.

“Are you – or someone you know – discerning a call to the priesthood? All In: Breaking Barriers to Discerning the Priesthood is a fabulous book that will help you on your journey. Isacco and Tirabassi identify various psychological obstacles young men face today and offer practical steps to turn those barriers into bridges, moving forward. As a mother of sons actively discerning, I highly recommend this book!”
