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.
