The Way of the Fathers...praying with the early Christians
From the pious to the practical, the reflections of the Fathers of the Church cover virtually every aspect of the Christian life. Now, noted author Mike Aquilina has compiled their ancient axioms into a concise collection of comments designed for busy, modern readers.
