Alpha Sigma Nu Summer Reading Circle

Posted in: Alpha Sigma Nu, Jesuit Higher Ed

Turn the Page to Summer Reading!

This summer, Alpha Sigma Nu invites members to make time for reflection and lifelong learning with a special summer reading opportunity. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful text that connects big questions to everyday life or a fuller reading experience, there’s a bundle designed for you.

Scholar Bundle: This bundle features Who Will You Become? An Ignatian Introduction to Catholic Theology, a book that introduces Catholic theology through the lens of Ignatian spirituality and the question of personal transformation, by co-authors Rev. Ryan Duns, SJ, and Dr. Conor Kelly, with a dedication to Alpha Sigma Nu members.

Lifelong Learner Bundle: For those who want to go further, this bundle includes Who Will You Become? plus your choice of Work in Progress: Confessions of a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and priest – A Funny, Wise, and Inspiring Spiritual Memoir by Rev. James Martin, SJ or Discerning Retirement: A Spiritual Approach to Planning Your Next Chapter of Life, by Tom Auffenberg, JD.

Bundles come with Alpha Sigma Nu swag and all books are signed by the authors!

Then keep the conversation going on Monday, August 31, at a virtual event at 5 PM CST, featuring Rev. Ryan Duns, SJ, and Tom Auffenberg. They’ll share more about their writing process and how their work connects with Alpha Sigma Nu members. The event will also include time for questions and conversation. Register here! (Purchase not necessary to join the conversation and is open to all Alpha Sigma Nu members.)

 

So whether you’re reading in the park, at the beach, or from your favorite chair at home, we hope you’ll read along with Alpha Sigma Nu this summer.

 

Both bundles can be purchased on the Alpha Sigma Nu online store.
