Under the influence of Jesus

By Joe Paprocki

Book Description

Many Catholics find themselves in a familiar place: they understand the teachings about Jesus but struggle to cultivate a genuine, personal relationship with him. This gap between intellectual knowledge and heartfelt connection can leave believers feeling spiritually distant despite years of religious education.

Joe Paprocki addresses this common challenge by offering practical guidance for Catholics seeking to deepen their faith experience. Rather than adding complexity to spiritual practice, he focuses on making the path to authentic discipleship both accessible and meaningful for everyday believers.

The book explores how to move beyond simply knowing facts about Jesus toward developing a transformative personal relationship with him. Paprocki presents spiritual concepts in ways that resonate with contemporary Catholics, helping readers discover how to live Gospel values in their daily lives.

Through engaging discussion and clear explanations, readers learn to integrate their faith more fully and express it with confidence. The approach emphasizes simplicity over complexity, making spiritual growth feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

For Catholics who sense there is more to their faith journey than what they have experienced so far, this book offers a bridge toward deeper spiritual fulfillment. It provides tools for articulating beliefs and living them out in ways that feel both authentic and relevant to modern life.
