Product Description

In A Year With The Fathers: Patristic Wisdom For Daily Living, Mike Aquilina, popular author on Patristics, gathers the wisest, most practical teachings and exhortations from the Fathers of the Church, and presents them in a format perfect for daily meditation and inspiration.

Learn to humbly accept correction from St Clement of Rome. Let Tertullian teach you how to clear your mind before prayer. Read St Gregory the Great and deepen your love of the Eucharist. Do you suffer from pain or illness? St John Chrysostom's counsels will refresh you. Do you have trouble curbing your appetite for food and other fleshly things? St John Cassian will teach you the true way to moderation and self-control.

A Year With The Church Fathers is different from a study guide and more than a collection of pious passages. It is a year long retreat that in just a few minutes every day will lead you on a journey of contemplation, prayer, resolution, and spiritual growth that is guaranteed to bring you closer to God and His Truth.

My husband and I read from it daily. We are enjoying it. Love the thought provoking question and prayer at the end of each days reading. A few of the days it's been hard to follow the reading (a bit over my head I guess).

Pros: Beautiful leather cover; Excellent selection of re; Printed in USA;
Best Uses: Daily Use;
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The writings in this book are so profond and day by day the Church Fathers impart their loving wisdom like the benign Spiritual Fathers that they are. I read each passage on its appointed day. And then review the headings for the previous day - hence I am like a workman who under divine guidance is building his house of life.
