RUN WITH OTHERS
A Call to Relationships & Community
Who do you run with? Have you ever found yourself in an elevator staring at the floor waiting for the torture to be over? Have you ever felt lonely in the middle of a crowded room? In a post-Covid era where our human need for face-to-face interaction has been highlighted as an epidemic of its own, Pat Keady lights a flare of hope that is timely and encouraging for Christians navigating life in the modern world.
After 20 years of encouraging people to ‘Walk With Jesus’, Pat realised there was a fuller picture, one that was desperately needed. ‘Run With Others’ is an invitation to the safe harbour of true relationships and authentic community which we were all designed to experience.
Pat shares humorous examples of his father Kev, growing up in his rural hometown, experiencing interconnected community in Africa, and the contrast with modern city life. He explores concepts such as brotherhood and sisterhood, what to do when your running partner is your spouse, and shares personal anecdotes along the way from the Catholic community he is a part of, drawing a line to the Eucharist as a picture of God’s dream for a more connected humanity.

SPEARHEAD
Reshaping the Church to Engage the World
Spearhead was written to challenge, inspire and provoke new ways of thinking about the Catholic Church and its mission in the modern world. In his unique style, Pat Keady proposes a contagious vision for leaders, parents, teachers, young people and priests to lead the Church forward in a radical re-connection with culture in the world of the third millennium.
Inspired by the writing of Pope Francis and the vision that has shaped his own ministry, Spearhead is an exhortation to move forward in the ‘new evangelisation’ until the phrase is no longer necessary. Pat casts a vision of the Church as a fluid institution that speaks to the modern world, operates through grace over legalism, professes the good news of Jesus with contagious authenticity, overflows with young people and goes beyond itself to reach the world outside her borders - a church of missionary disciples – one which Jesus could identify as his own.

the Activity of Disciples
