Description
Getting to know the Church Fathers means getting to know our own roots. It means knowing more deeply who we are as we learn more and more about who they are.
The early Christians are our ancestors, our common genealogy, our family. When we look to our roots, what do we see?
That’s what Mike Aquilina shows you in Faith of Our Fathers.
The Fathers managed to pull off an amazing achievement. They converted the pagan world in a mere two and a half centuries. They did it without any resources, without any social or political power. They did it with the most primitive communications media. Yet their Church sustained a steady growth rate of 40 percent per decade over the course of those centuries. Maybe there’s something we can learn from them. Faith of Our Fathers is a journey into that world, a tour where your guides are the Fathers.

All Christians should read this book. Every chapter is its own story. I lend it out; now am giving copies away.

Excellent!
This book is both informative and inspiring. I keep finding passages that I want to read aloud to my husband in the evenings. Wonderful read!
