Leaders in all sectors of ministry should keep this book close at hand for both personal and shared formation opportunities."

“Together Through Reflection is a book that invites the reader to press the pause button—to stop, breathe, and notice the sacred in the ordinary. It is a delightful series of spiritually inclusive reflections for those of us who serve in Catholic ministries and are asked to lead reflections. It will be on my bookshelf, right next to my desk, to pull out with ease. Bridget Deegan-Krause offers beautiful, theological perspectives on relevant ministry themes. She includes thoughtful questions that prompt deeper exploration, insight, and rich dialogue. Truly a gem of a book—a great resource.”

"This timely volume offers a bold, constructive vision for reflective practices among teams working in ministry and mission-driven organizations, drawing richly on the Catholic tradition to speak broadly to people of all—and importantly in today’s world, no particular—spiritual traditions and experiences. It emphasizes how leaders, employees, boards, and other stakeholders can benefit from personal and collective attention to thoughtful, spiritual reflection and discernment, and it is rich with examples, short passages, and suggestions for how to bring this to life in diverse settings. With chapters spanning foundational formation experiences for newcomers to the organization, the challenges of difficult moments and hard decisions, and the construction of a shared community, it will prove immensely useful for audiences across mission- and faith-inspired organizations. And I imagine they will return to it many times over the years, each time deepening their appreciation for the fruits that dedicated, intentional reflection and spirituality can bring to our lives and work."
