Description
The highly esteemed Catholic convert, creator and apologist Ronald Knox, a master of the English language, was once well regarded for his gifts either one of writing and preaching. This volume combines both skills as this can be a collection of his homilies on the entire important themes of the spiritual and moral life, and on his favorite saints, women and men of history who were “inflamed with the love of Christ”. In his all the time descriptive, profound and witty style, Knox covers a very wide variety of pastoral themes for Christian living and growth in spiritual perfection. Themes such as “The Fatherhood of God”, “The Sermon on the Mount”, “The Gifts of God”, “The Triumph of Suffering”, “The Divine Sacrifice”, and dozens more. In his “occasional” sermons on saints and Christian heroes, he shows how these heroes of history struggled with among the same spiritual battles that modern believers encounter day-to-day, and overcame them with faith, courage, character and virtue. These are the shining witnesses of the truth and charity we all are seeking to emulate.
This is a deluxe volume, beautifully printed and bound on Bible paper with a faux-leather hard cover.
