Dr. Ahern is pleased to announce the publication of his new book, God’s Quad: Small Faith Communities on Campus and Beyond (Orbis Books, 2018) edited by Dr. Ahern and Christopher Derige Malano of the Newman Center at the University of Hawaii–Manoa. 
God’s Quad explores the power and potential of small Christian communities for college and university students inside and outside academic settings. Contributors from five continents (including several groups linked to the global Catholic youth movements) offer case studies of best practices and practical tools for creating and maintaining Christian communities for young adults, both within and beyond academic settings. Toolkits include practical guides to organize weekly meetings, including guides on the review of life (see-judge-act) and spirituality of action.
The release of the book was organized with three public events at America Media in New York, Hekima College in Nairobi, Kenya and at the Jesuit Curia in Rome.
Over the past two years, we have been involved in an international research project to study and engage best practices in student and young adult apostolates.
