Synopsis

Praying With Your Whole Heart

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO (354-430) was one of the foremost philosopher-theologians of early Christianity and the leading figure in the church of North Africa. He became bishop of Hippo in 396 and held that position until his death. Before becoming a Christian, Augustine lived a very secular life. His mother Monica prayed for him diligently and at age 32, during a trip to Milan, Augustine heard the preaching of St. Ambrose, was convicted by the Holy Spirit, and became a Christian. His numerous written works, the most important of which are his Confessions and City of God, shaped the practice of biblical exegesis and helped lay the foundation for much of medieval and modern Christian thought.

By the time St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was twenty-one, she had experienced her mystical "marriage" to Christ and thrown herself tirelessly into ministering to the poor and sick. Throughout her active ministry, Catherine pursued truth through prayer, reading, and spiritual experience. She is one of only a few women in history to be recognized as a theological "Doctor" of the Catholic Church.

Thomas à Kempis (ca. 1380-1471) was a German monk and a practical mystic. During his monastic life, Thomas wrote thirty-one books, treatises, and articles including a chronicle of his monastery and several biographies.
