In the Summa of The Christian Life collection, Fr. Jordan Aumann, OP, presents an assortment of excerpts-arranged according to the topics of the Summa Theologica-from Venerable Louis of Granada's greatest works, including his Book of Prayer and Meditation, Sinner's Guide, Memorial of the Christian Life, Introduction to the Creed, and Compendium and Explanation of Christian Doctrine.One of the most prominent and exceptional spiritual teachers of the sixteenth century, Venerable Louis stands as a master of the spiritual life throughout the whole Christian tradition. Born in extremely poor circumstances, Louis and his widowed mother subsisted on alms gathered from outside the gate of a Dominican priory. Eventually, Louis became a Dominican himself, and began a career of preaching that resulted, at length, in traveling throughout Spain and Portugal. He attained-despite the humble friar's best efforts-various posts in the Order of Preachers and served at courts of nobles and the queen regent of Portugal. He was offered bishoprics and the cardinalate, but he declined all offers.He was accused unjustly by the Spanish Inquisition of heresy but was later vindicated by the Council of Trent and the witness of subsequent saints. Indeed, he counts among his readers and recommenders such pillars of sanctity as St. Rose of Lima, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Charles Borromeo, and St. Francis de Sales, who recommended Venerable Louis's work be read as a "second Breviary." Venerable Louis's Sinner's Guide has been compared to The Imitation of Christ for its breadth, intensity, and usefulness for devotion and has been translated into many languages. But Venerable Louis's primary mission, quite unusually for his time, was to write and preach for the laity. Indeed, he writes on difficult topics with a rare combination of simplicity and depth, such that they can be easily grasped. Let, then, the words of this venerable Spanish preacher illuminate your heart with the light of Christ, speaking, as it were, straight from the bosom of the Master. Three Titles in this Series:Books 1-2: The Existence and Perfections of God, The Marvels of CreationBooks 3-5: The Quest for Happiness, The Theological Virtues, The Moral VirtuesBooks 6-8: Christ, Our Redeemer, The Sacraments, The Last ThingsFr. Jordan Aumann, OP, (1916-2007) was Director of the Institute of Spirituality at the Angelicum in Rome. The author of eight books, Aumann was an internationally recognized authority on spiritual theology.

"Antonina zazdro´scila Idzie takiego zycia, o jakim sama marzyla. I gdy w ko´ncu udalo sie jej wyrwa´c z za´sciankowego ´swiata, w którym jej przyszlo egzystowa´c do tej pory, Ida wymagala od niej walki o wolno´s´c nasza i wasza. A przeciez ona juz o te wolno´s´c, o swoja wolno´s´c, zawalczyla. Dostala sie na studia w Gda´nsku i bez zalu porzucila Olecko oraz znajomych, przed którymi udawala kogo´s innego, niz byla w rzeczywisto´sci. Na pewno nie byla zwykla dziewczyna z malego miasteczka. - O tym, co jest moralnie naganne, to by ci na pewno powiedziala moja babcia po powrocie z ko´sciola. Ja jestem moralnie naganna. - Skrzywila sie. - Ty to jeste´s nieprzyzwoicie piekna. - Ida zlapala Antonine za koszulke i przyciagnela do siebie, a nastepnie lekko przygryzla jej wargi. Dziewczyna pisnela nieznacznie, lecz poddala sie zabiegom Niny, która wysunela swój jezyk i badala jej miekkie usta. - I taka seksowna - szeptala. - Te krótkie wlosy dodaja ci zadziorno´sci. - Przeciagnela dlonia po jej wlosach i jeszcze bardziej wpila sie w jej usta, delikatnie chwytajac i ciagnac wlosy Niny." Co sie stanie, gdy spotkaja sie dwie dziewczyny z calkiem róznych ´srodowisk? Czy po wybuchu pierwszej namietno´sci beda umialy sie dogada´c? I co dla kazdej z nich oznacza wolno´s´c? Powazna klótnia sprawia, ze sie rozchodza, ale moze milo´s´c potrafi laczy´c pomimo podzialów? Annah Viki M. - pseudonim kobiety, która nie chce zosta´c odnaleziona, natomiast sama chcialaby odnale´z´c idealne barwy namietno´sci i szuka ich bezpruderyjnie na stronach swoich opowiada´n erotycznych i nie tylko. Tworzy kolorowe postacie pelne uczu´c i emocji, które nie boja sie siega´c po to, czego pragna. Sama nie boi sie pisa´c mocno i dosadnie, przesuwajac granice i puszczajac oko do czytelnika.
