The Way Of The Fathers

From the pious to the practical, the reflections of the Fathers of the Church cover virtually every aspect of the Christian life. 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. And, let your heart turn toward the heavenly Jerusalem, following the 1,000 timeless treasures in The Way of the Fathers.

"A power-packed collection of the Fathers' concise, clear, and challenging statements on issues still relevant to Christians today... a helpful tool, for anyone seeking to live the authentic Gospel life as understood by the first Christians." — John Michael Talbot.
