Story
The human heart’s greatest longing is to see God as he is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hell’s pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining?

Story
For even the casual observer, it is evident that the world, nearly as a whole, is unmoored from obedience to Almighty God. The number of sins, many of which “cry to Heaven for vengeance,” which saturate the culture and the personal lives of the common man are legion, both in their breadth and in their diabolical quality. This spiritual depravity has invited, into the light of day, the Enemy who has always been working in darkness.

Story
What is virtue? It is not a question often asked anymore; yet throughout the centuries, philosophers have considered it one of the most important questions of human life. Coming from the Latin word for “strength", virtue denotes a steady habit of willing the good—in Christian terms, pursuing the love of God and neighbor—in some particular way. While most Catholics know the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, as well as prudence, temperance, courage, and justice, many of us are unaware of numerous other virtues, such as discretion, constancy, and holy silence.

What can the lay person learn from the life of a monk? Solitude and Silence are two pillars of monastic life that many people quickly point to as the hardest and most confusing parts of this kind of religious consecration. However, the great spiritual writer Thomas à Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, helps us to understand that all Christians are called to some solitude and silence in our lives while not taking on a complete eremitical life.

Publisher's Summary
Here is the book that will help you climb St. Paul's "eight steps," to attain happiness, holiness, and Heaven. Bestselling author Kevin Vost breaks open St. Paul's life and spirituality through the lens of St. Thomas Aquinas, as well as other saintly and noble men and women.
Dr. Kevin Vost reveals hidden treasures such as: why St. Paul is a "four-in-one special"; three intellectual virtues that help us discover important truths; two fundamental senses of truth, and three vices opposed to truth; eight aspects of the nature of truth according to Aquinas; eight types of justice and how you can exercise them in your life; the link between modesty and latria, dulia, and hyperdulia.
Each chapter unpacks one of these outstanding virtues and contains an invaluable "Summing Up" section. Further highlighted are exemplary individuals to imitate in their exercise of the heroic virtue, from St. Dominic to Our Lady and St. Joseph to St. Agnes of Rome and St. Brigid to Aristotle and Cicero.
You will find the six types of grace and their effects that God is waiting to pour into your life. You will find our practical ways to develop each virtue, the fruits that result, and how to reap them in your life.
