25 popes recommend this book

"His teachings could have come only from a miraculous intervention by God." Pope John XXII "The teachings of St. Thomas are so vast that they contain, like a sea, all the wisdom that flows from the ancients." Pope Leo XIII "Because his method is concise, clear, and easily followed, even persons of little instruction are eager to possess his writings." Pope Pius XI The most extraordinary (and little known) book ever written about our Faith . . .  ...was not written for philosophers or for theologians—even though its author was the incomparable St. Thomas Aquinas, the man lauded by more than 25 popes as the Church's preeminent theologian. Its pages contain the Lenten sermons of St. Thomas preached to the townspeople of Naples in 1273, shortly before his death. Gathered together in one book, these sermons constitute a complete catechism on the teachings and practices of our Faith, and reveal the profound links that bind Holy Scripture to each of them.   In one volume, The Aquinas Catechism gives you: An introduction to the Catholic Faith A refresher catechism by the Church's greatest mind A mini-course in Scripture by a master of the Bible, with almost a thousand Scriptural quotations A brief course in theology "taught" by the Church's greatest theologian; and A defense of the Faith against its critics. Best of all, because St. Thomas was not writing for scholars but preaching to laymen, anyone can profit from the saintly wisdom found here. To ensure that happens, we have (as the Vatican joyfully notes below) designed our edition of these sermons for ease of use: boldfaced subheadings on every page make them easy to read and our handy 22-page appendix outlines the entire book for you. "A Masterpiece!" L'Osservatore Romano "To give highlights of this masterpiece is difficult because so much is distilled.  The benefits of prayer are presented so attractively that one wishes one could pray for hours on end.  A very clever editor put in helpful headings and subheadings to bring out more clearly the meaning of the text.  Now beginners and advanced scholars alike can understand the faith more aptly through these brilliant sermons of the Angelic Doctor."

But do you have time to read the 3,000 pages in his Summa Theologica? Do you struggle to understand the abstract theological terms he uses in On Being and Essence? Perhaps you, like so many of us, desire to be taught by such a great philosopher as Aquinas, but feel he is well beyond your reach. Not anymore. In The One-Minute Aquinas, veteran Catholic author Dr. Kevin Vost provides you with simple, readable explanations of St. Thomas's life-giving wisdom. In this book's lucid pages, you'll read small, digestible portions of St. Thomas's answers to questions such as . . .   Why do souls need the sacraments?   Why didn't Jesus write the Bible himself?   What are simple proofs of God's existence?   What is heaven, and what is it not?   Why did Jesus allow himself to be crucified?   How can I grow quickly in virtue?   Who are the angels and what are their powers?   Why did God become man?   Why did Jesus allow himself to be tempted? And you'll learn countless, but quick, refutations to the relativistic and secular ideas that are so destructive to our culture today. We're not all called to be intellectuals, but we are called to have an ever deeper understanding of our Faith.   Save 25% when you order the set HERE Order online above, or call 1-800-888-9344 www.SophiaInstitute.com Save up to 40% when you join Sophia's
