Times change, but human nature does not. Neither do our daily struggles and our need for wise guidance to direct us on the road to holiness. In A Year with the Church Fathers, popular patristics expert, Mike Aquilina, gathers the wisest, most practical teachings and exhortations from the Fathers and presents them in a format perfect for daily meditation and inspiration. Learn to humbly accept correction from St. Clement of Rome. Let Tertullian teach you how to clear your mind before prayer. Read St. Gregory the Great and deepen your love for the Eucharist. Do you suffer from pain or illness? St. John Chrysostom’s counsels will refresh you. Do you have trouble curbing your appetite for food and other fleshly things? St. John Cassian will teach you the true way to moderation and self-control.
A Year with the Church Fathers is different from a study guide, and more than a collection of pious passages. It is a year-long retreat that will lead you on a cycle of contemplation, prayer, resolution, and spiritual growth that is guaranteed to bring you closer to God and his truth.

Mike Aquilina presents contemplations and prayers about those most mysterious of all created beings: the Angels. Drawing again from the deep well of the Fathers’ wisdom, Aquilina has compiled a year’s worth of reflections on the nine choirs of angels.
A Year with the Angels invites you to discover the authority and strength of the heavenly host. Angels embody virtues, graces, and knowledge of the truth because they stand before the very throne of God. Among the angels’ responsibilities are governing the universe and the movements of nature, defending creation from the attacks of the devil, and acting as messengers of God to mankind. This year, learn to appreciate our unique relationship with the Angels—especially those assigned to protect us during our sojourn on earth.

I have these in leatherbound print personalized with my name and they are lovely editions. I pre-ordered this for Logos/Verbum, too, to help me stick with daily readings. Question: will each day's reading appear in my "home" screen on Verbum? (Like the saint of the day and Coworkers/Ratzinger/B16 readings?) I might want to make a four square layout with these four resources as my daily non-Bible devotional readings, too. Thanks for producing this for Logos/Verbum.
