Greg Gerhart:\nFr Greg Gerhart is a priest of the Diocese of Austin, TX. He grew up in Allen, Texas, and heard his vocation to the priesthood at the age of 14 when attending the Pines Catholic Camp. He now serves as the Vocation Director of the diocese. Fr. Greg explains the origins of D180 as arising from his lived experience: “As I worked with young people, I began to see that they needed more structure in their lives, especially while they’re seeking to know their vocations.” He also wanted to offer deep content, not “fluff”, and so he drew from the Church’s greatest saints and theologians for the daily readings. “So far D180 has borne incredible fruit in my own diocese,” he said. “I’m glad to offer it to any young man or woman who needs guidance as he listens for God’s call.”\n\u003ch3 class=\"additional-product-info-title\"\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"additional-product-info\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"responsive-table\"\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAuthor\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFr Greg GerGerhart\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eISBN \/ Code\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e9781923263765\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePages \/ Minutes\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e407\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVianney Vocations\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vianney Vocations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43127224172642,"sku":"9781923263765","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/9770\/3010\/files\/gerhart-discernment-180-2048_262bd531-7e1f-47b3-bde1-7ff058dddcdb.jpg?v=1784316854","url":"https:\/\/cardinal-newman-aus.myshopify.com\/products\/gerhart-discernment-180","provider":"Cardinal Newman Faith Resources Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
