It is the unmistakable character of one who has accepted the vocation to undertake the spiritual journey. It is at the core of our experience of life in Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeg Funk guides readers deeper into a life of humility by following the movement of what the early Christians called the four renunciations: to renounce our former way of life, our thoughts of our former way of life, our self-made thoughts of God, and our self-made thoughts of ourselves. With the help of the compelling examples of St. Benedict, St. Teresa of Jesus, and St. Therese of Lisieux, Funk shows the way to ongoing conversion of mind, heart, and way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMary Margaret Funk is a Benedictine nun of Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech Grove, Indiana.
