12 Life Lessons from Aquinas

Where are today's godly men and women? How can we find them? How can we become them? For the answer, generations of Catholics have turned to St. Thomas Aquinas – and now you can, too. Here, Dr. Kevin Vost provides you with 12 essential life lessons, culled from the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Together these lessons will elevate your mind, enrich your spirit, and teach you how to participate fully in the universal vocation to holiness and happiness. Distilling Thomas’s timeless and unparalleled spiritual wisdom, Vost shows you:   The things you must believe, know, and desire in order to be saved (and how to thoroughly attend to these in your daily life)   Why you must be religious and not merely “spiritual”   How sloth in particular can blind you to the highest meaning of life (and which virtues supply the antidote)   The surprising and dreadful effects of wrath in your life   How to recognize injustices you may be committing daily—and how to train yourself to fight those impulses   How to free yourself from the crushing yoke of envy   How and why you should be your own best friend   Which virtues you need so you can hate the sin while loving the sinner   Why you should care about angels   What you need to know about the saints in order to become one These lessons will help you cultivate a rich, robust faith life that will bring you into closer communion with God and beckon others to follow. With the help of Vost and Thomas, you’ll soon find yourself confidently and happily living in imitation of Our Lord, the Way, the Truth, and the Life for all men. 12 Life Lessons from St. Thomas Aquinas: Timeless Spiritual Wisdom for Our Turbulent Times by Kevin Vost Paperback | eBook 304 pages Paperback price: $18.95  Today's Sale Price: $15.99! BUY NOW Archbishop Sheen here demonstrates that Christianity makes good sense - even to persons with no religious background. Indeed, argues Sheen, Christianity alone is able to explain the goodness we encounter in the universe and the evil. It alone makes sense of our impulses to love and to sacrifice and our repeated failures to do so. Along the way, Bishop Sheen shows you:   How conscience proves the existence of God   Why sacrifice is the road to lasting happiness   Why there must be both a heaven and a hell, and   What you must do to find your proper place in God's world.   If you're not a Christian, you'll come away with a sure sense of why so many good people are. If you're already Christian, you'll come to understand your faith better, learn to explain it to others, and grow in gratitude for God's gift of this world and the glorious role He has called you to play in it.   Get both books for only $24.99!
