Yes, I know that memorizing the Faith is no substitute for living a holy life, but even devout people can t live by truths and precepts they don t keep in mind that.

That s why, over 700 years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas perfected an easy method for his students to memorize most any information, but especially the truths taught by Christ and His Church.

As the years passed, our need for this ancient art of memorization grew, yet someway our culture largely forgot it . . . which is why today, when you and I try to keep in mind that a list of things, we need to repeat their names over and over again. Or, to keep in mind that to call the dentist, we tie a string on our finger. And we clutch at any means whatsoever to recall our passwords for ATMs, credit cards, and voicemail, our login names for Yahoo, eBay, and Amazon, and the host of other names and numbers that clog our minds and clutter our days.

Now, thanks to the delightful pages of Memorize the Faith!, you’ll be able to easily keep some of these in mind and learn the Faith! by tapping into the power of the classical memory system that helped St. Thomas grow to be the Church s preeminent theologian, and made it easier for him to grow to be one of its greatest saints.

Here, Catholic scholar Kevin Vost makes available again Aquinas s easy-to-learn method the method Dr. Vost himself has used for decades to recall names, dates, phone numbers, the first dozen digits of pi (3.141592653589) and even whether, when his wife called him at work today, she asked him to bring home ice cream and toffee . . . or was it truffles and coffee?

Indeed, Dr. Vost will teach you to keep in mind that virtually anything, but he devotes most of his book to showing you how to enhance your memory of Catholic truths so you’ll be able to live the Faith better.

By the time you finish this book, you’re going to have memorized dozens of key teachings of the Church, in conjunction with hundreds of precepts, traditions, theological terms, Scripture verses, and other elements of the Faith that every good Catholic needs to know by heart.

Memory is the foundation of wisdom. It makes holiness easier. To grow wiser in the Faith . . . and holier . . . turn to Memorize the Faith! today.
