The Way of the Fathers - Mike Aquilina
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.
Pray with the poetry of St. Gregory Nazianzen. Find clear direction in the practical advice of St. Jerome. Rejoice in the words of St. Augustine. And, let your heart turn toward the heavenly Jerusalem, following the one thousand timeless treasures in The Way of the Fathers.
