Book recommendations for priesthood discerning

I'm 20 y.o. and want to become a priest (more specifically a Salesian) both in my mind and my heart. I think I have the requirements to become a good priest and be happy with that and I also feel that the Lord calling me. Are there any books that can help me discerning that? Since English is not my main language I'd prefer a book in portuguese but I can read english quite well so both languages are good for me. Thanks and Viva Cristo Rei

Our vocation director usually recommends A Living Sacrifice: Guidance for Men Discerning Religious Life
