"How do we find our path? Do we decide—or as Chaz Howard suggests, gently, in this beautiful book - do we discern? Life is a journey, it is often said, and in Uncovering Your Path, you learn that discerning the way forward is more a matter of listening and feeling than reasoning and thinking. To say I read this book would be an understatement. I savored it, I absorbed it. I loved it. For anyone at any age who stands at a crossroads, wishing they had a humble, wise, and loving companion at their side, I recommend doing the same."

"In my own life, I walked a slowly uncovered path of discernment in the years after college. What a gift it is to have not only the great 'cloud of witnesses,' as St. Paul says of the Saints who help us with their prayers and examples, but also good books to help us find, and refine, our purpose and find our way. I'm delighted that my friend (and the chaplain of my alma mater) the talented and charismatic Chaz Howard has written this beautiful book to help others along their discernment journeys."

–– James Martin, SJ, Author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything

"This inspiring book will help you find your path in life as well as joy and peace as you walk it. Chaz’s reflections are a gift to people of all faiths and those of none at all. Uncovering Your Path gives you the opportunity to 'sit down with the chaplain,' explore your life, and benefit from his wisdom as countless current and future leaders have done throughout Chaz’s more than two decades of ministry."

"Colleges and universities face expectations that only ever seem to rise. On a competitive landscape, they try to be all things to all people and lack clear identities. The most competitive institutions of higher education long ago rescinded faith commitments that might have provided guidance. Alongside these institutional patterns, the human beings that make up communities are struggling. Overwhelmed by empty promises like, 'You can do whatever you want,' students look to their chaplains, professors, and deans for help in identifying their gifts and passions and making choices in light of them. Those same chaplains, professors, and deans lack resources even to plot a path for themselves. Chaz Howard’s book, Uncovering Your Path: Spiritual Reflections for Finding Your Purpose will help students, those who love students, and all who lead communities. This beautiful collection of reflections, poems (both quoted and created by the author), and spiritual exercises will empower individuals to face tough questions about their own lives and will guide institutional leaders toward life-giving directions for those they serve."

"In Uncovering Your Path, Chaz Howard provides a unique and very personal view on how one can find their way in life. Chaz opens up about his own journey and the many obstacles he faced. He explains with interesting storytelling how mistakes are a part of the process and the ability to continue to grow from all experiences—positive or negative—will enable you to uncover your path and find purpose in life."
