maximillion Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 In another thread someone is asking about recommended reading for family on the subject and it was suggested a guide ought to be written. So, here we are VS'ers, a project for 2014. Chapter headings? Table of Contents? Sample chapters? Get writing peeps, add your suggestions here and who knows.........

Carson Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Also, have a section on discernment. I love this idea so much!!! Someone do it, please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I would love to do it...but there are a few problems the 1st being TIME! Dummies doesn't take unsolicited manuscripts but you can do custom books with them. That takes MONEY! It IS worth thinking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Two parts......Apostolic and Cloistered? Chapter headings: 'General Requirements for Entry, Documentation etc.' 'Recommended Reading: Aspirant'. 'Recommended Reading for Family and Friends' 'How to tell your family'. 'When to Enter' is definitely something that ought to be in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 We can publish on amazon, it's a doddle! I am beginning to think very seriously about us doing this - a collaborative effort would be good. Come on peeps, start writing....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to think very seriously about us doing this - a collaborative effort would be good. Come on peeps, start writing....... I know! This is one of the best ideas ever. We've got to go along with this. :winner: And even if we don't get it published, we still have a really fantastic guide. Hey, there should be a section on habits, too! About their importance in religious life, and their symbolism. (Maybe that should be its own whole book. :hehe2: Too much information to cover.)

(Maybe that should be its own whole book. :hehe2: Too much information to cover.) No, that would be in the Prequel..."Dummies Guide to Discerning a Community." I anticipate a trilogy: "Dummies Guide to...Discerning, Entering, and Living There." Maybe a fourth, "Discerning Out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximillion Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Oh, HELP!!!!!! Okay, since I am very ancient now and since I didn't really discern in the way it is done today, I can't write that one. I can write one on entering though and am now seriously giving it thought. Oh - yes, and I might get round one day to the one on discerning out, as I did that too.... We could have a joint one on Living There........

cartermia Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I could do something with highschool students since I am one of those... :p This really sounds neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eowyn Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Maybe this is something that Institute on Religious Life would find helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Please, please, please write this! We could do fundraising for it. Someone should contact the Imagine Sisters about this. I'm sure they could find a way to help!!! Edited February 4, 2014 by Carson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
