SUMMARY:Interior Freedom Book Study Series
DESCRIPTION:Copies of the book\, Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Philippe\, can be ordered online. \nAmazon Link to Order Book \nFr. Jacques Philippe is a spiritual master whose writings are accessible and profound.  Join us for this four-week book study of his book\, Interior Freedom\, in which he helps us to understand how to experience freedom within ourselves in the midst of so many things\, internal and external\, that are out of our control. \nFrom the description of the book: “In his book\, Interior Freedom\, Fr. Jacques Phillipe shows us that we possess\, each of us\, inside of us a space of freedom that no-one can take away. Despite the most unfavorable outward circumstances\, we can claim our freedom because God is its source and its guarantee. Without this\, we will always be in search for something else to fulfill us\, and we will never understand true happiness.” \nJanuary 26       Book Study Part 1 (pp. 9-44)\nFebruary 2       Book Study Part 2 (pp. 45-80)\nFebruary 9       Book Study Part 3 (pp. 81-110)\nFebruary 16     Book Study Part 4 (pp. 111-134) \nSchedule: \n6:15 Arrive and Welcome\n6:30 Rosary\n6:45 Discussion\n7:45 Depart \nCost: $20 \nContact: events@dio.org \nREGISTER HERE
