Waves of Grace

This book explores how the Catholic Church can connect powerfully with young people through the evangelising mission of the Catholic school. The understanding, commitment, and intentional focus of educators in this mission is critical. Their task is one of proclaiming Jesus through the transforming work of the Spirit. Responding to this grace opens the 'door of faith' for young people and ushers in a lifelong journey of discipleship and relationship. "Throughout my long career working for catholic education in the Vatican, I have read many books and studies about how Catholic education should be. Waves of Grace, based on Peter's own long experience, his professional academic analysis and the success stories of programs like Spiritus, shows a possible and practicable way for educational leaders to transform Catholic schools into lighthouses and power stations of excellent education and evangelisation. Anyone passionate about Catholic schools may find inspiration in this book for their relationship with Christ - like me - and even catch a wave of grace amidst their professional service."
