Reviews for Let Him Lead: An Invitation to Let Jesus Guide Your Heart and Your Life

""With this latest book, Fr. Jeremiah establishes himself even more firmly as a modern-day master of the interior life. Using everyday experiences and encounters, he weaves a rich tapestry of spiritual insight. These reflections, springing from a life of prayer and contemplation, are both accessible and inspiring, and are sure to benefit the reader who seeks closer union with God."" -Fr. Brian Graebe STD, author of ""Vessel of Honor: The Virgin Birth and the Ecclesiology of Vatican II ""As a true preacher of the Gospel, Fr. Jeremiah offers meditations that are at once easily accessible and challenging. Using familiar Biblical stories, he asks, how is this aspect of the Gospel becoming concrete in my life? Where is the Lord inviting me to a yet more complete response? As the Gospel itself is ""ever ancient, ever new,"" Fr. Jeremiah's meditations are applicable both to those just beginning to pray seriously and to every disciple wishing to be renewed and transformed through an encounter with the Lord in His Word."" -Mother Mary Concepta, S.V., Superior General of the Sisters of Life. ""This book is a necessary reminder of the transformative power of the gospels. If you long for an intimate relationship with Jesus, need a steady compass to guide you each day, or desire holiness but don't know where to begin, Let Him Lead: Following Jesus through the Gospels is a must-read. Father Jeremiah's reflections offer a new perspective on familiar stories, inspiring us to seek more of Him when the world's promises don't deliver. If you buy one book this year, may Let Him Lead be the one-this is not a book to consume and forget, but one for a lifetime!"" -Laura Phelps, Content Creator at Walking With Purpose ""Let Him Lead: Following Jesus in the Gospels stirred me to prayer. Fr. Jeremiah prophetically wants to set the world on fire through ""something greater than worldly wisdom."" His message is to follow the Lord, not fear, on a journey of love into eternity. A true son of St. Francis, he opens a contemplation of Christ in practical and breathtaking ways that draw from the Bible as well as the saints, great thinkers and his own powerful personal stories."" -Dr. Athony Lilles, STD, Professor at St. Patrick's Seminary and University and Co-Founder of the Avila Institute ""Simple, practical, and down to earth, Fr. Jeremiah offers a Scriptural and compelling account of discipleship with the Lord Jesus."" -Fr. James Dominic Brent, OP, author of The Father's House. ""Let Him Lead: Following Jesus through the Gospels is a profound yet gentle invitation into the human heart. Father Jeremiah Shryock serves as a wise spiritual guide, leading the reader into a deeper understanding of universal experiences that we keenly feel but may not always recognize, both on a natural and spiritual level. As he shares his own personal experiences, Father Jeremiah assures us that we are not alone--and that healing is within reach. Through insightful Gospel passages, Christ's living words, and the safety of God's unconditional love, Let Him Lead is a heartfelt invitation to greater spiritual freedom and deep intimacy in prayer. -Megan Hjelmstad, Author of Offer it Up: Discovering Deep Meaning and Powerful Purpose in Suffering
