**Dominicana: A Guidebook for Lay Dominicans** began as a simple resource for lay inquirers eager to learn about the Order of Preachers and discern their vocation. Now, in its third edition, this book has transformed into an indispensable guide for all lay Dominicans. It delves into the rich history and structure of the Order, highlights notable Dominicans, showcases Dominican art, and explores essential elements of prayer, study, and community life. At its core, this guide serves one powerful mission: to equip lay Dominicans to boldly preach the gospel to the world. In the secular realm-where other branches of the Order might hesitate-lay Dominicans are called to share the Word with confidence and conviction. St. Dominic de Guzman envisioned a world where the preaching of the Word transcends borders, and this book is a vital resource in realizing that dream. It compellingly addresses the timeless question: "What is a Dominican?" Prepare to deepen your understanding and ignite your passion for this essential mission.
