In this unique work, Peter Kreeft brings together 358 useful, everyday insights from St. Thomas Aquinas' masterpiece the Summa Theologiae. He pairs these easily digestible quotes from the Summa with his own delightfully written commentary in order to answer the kinds of questions real people ask their spiritual directors. These 358 passages from the Summa have helped Kreeft in his own struggles to grow closer to the Lord. His practical, personal, and livable advice is the fruit of his labors to apply the insights of Aquinas to his own quest for sanctity, happiness, and union with God.

“Aquinas was a writer of great spiritual and moral depth, with much useful advice for the ordinary person in the pew.  As always, Peter Kreeft is an excellent guide to the work of the Angelic Doctor for those who aren’t sure where to start.”
— Edward Feser, Ph.D., Author, Five Proofs of the Existence of God

"Kreeft's writings are true genius, and this work may be his opus. Kreeft makes Aquinas' thought more accessible in what I believe to be Aquinas' most important gift to the Church - the revelation of truth illumining the path to union with God."
— Dan Burke, President, Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation

 “In this book we find not only St. Thomas Aquinas's wisdom to order our lives to God, we also have the wisdom of his faithful and brilliant interpreter, Peter Kreeft. Reading their words, we can see that our lives may by grace share in the wisdom of God.”
— Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P., Editor-in-Chief, The Thomist

"How can we know the living God and attain to everlasting union with God? Kreeft's dialogue with Aquinas shows us what it means--existentially, not solely academically--to learn from a saint."
— Matthew Levering, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Mundelein Seminary

“Kreeft analyzes the most winsome articles of Aquinas’ Summa. Here, knowledge, wisdom and spirituality work together to transform lives.”
— Francis Cardinal George, Emeritus Archbishop of Chicago

“Kreeft’s clear and charming explanations really bring the Summa within the range of beginners.”
— J. Budziszewski, Ph.D., Author, What We Can’t Not Know

“Kreeft’s work is so valuable because it focuses on what Thomas has to say about Christ and how this teaching can deepen our relationship with Christ.”
— Christopher Kaczor, Ph.D., Author, The Seven Big Myths about the Catholic Church

"Its notoriously difficult to synopsize Aquinas on anything. Peter Kreeft does the job well. Many will find this presentation helpful to answer the questions that bother the minds of today's searchers."
— Romanus Cessario, O.P., Adam Cardinal Maida Chair of Theology, Ave Maria University
