Donna Steffen's book shimmers with the experience of someone who has listened deeply to the spiritual yearnings of the human heart. She applies her considerable talent to help others do the same. Specifically, she aims to help people in Catholic parishes who are preparing adults for baptism. The book offers guidelines for the catechumenate team which shares this responsibility. Many teams do not take the time to discern the readiness of disciples for baptism. Steffen offers a very practical guide for how this can be done. Yet in spite of its practical packaging, she never loses sight of the great mystery before which we stand -- the call of God and the response of the believer. This book will provide immediate assistance for people on parish teams needing to decide whether or not the individuals who come to them are ready for the rite of acceptance into the order of catechumens and the rite of election. I highly recommend this fine work.
