Times change but human nature does not.  Today as two thousand years ago we fight anger, pride, lust, spiritual sloth. Now as then we strive to be more diligent in prayer, more faithful to the commandments, more patient and charitable toward others. And in our time, no less than in the earliest centuries of Christianity, we need wise guidance to direct us on the road to holiness.

In A Year with the Church Fathers, Mike Aquilina gathers the wisest, most practical teachings and exhortations from the Fathers of the Church, and presents them in a format perfect for daily meditation and inspiration. The Fathers were the immediate inheritors of the riches of the Apostolic Age, and their intimacy with the revelation of Jesus Christ is evident throughout their theological and pastoral writings.

This volume is different from a study guide, and more than a collection of pious passages. It is a year-long retreat that with a few minutes every day will lead the reader on a cycle of contemplation, prayer, resolution, and spiritual growth bringing an increasing closeness to God and His truth.
