About St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope John XXII said: "A man can derive more profit in a year from his books than from pondering all his life the teaching of others." And Pope Pius XI added: "We now say to all who are desirous of the truth: 'Go to St. Thomas.' " But when we do go to Thomas - when we open his massive Summa Theologica or another of his works - we're quickly overwhelmed, even lost. If we find him hard to read, how can we even begin to "think like Aquinas?" Now comes Kevin Vost -- the best-selling author of > -- armed with a recently rediscovered letter St. Thomas himself wrote - a brief letter to young novice monk giving practical, sage advice about how to study, how to think, and even how to live. In this letter written almost 800 years ago, St. Thomas reveals his unique powers of intellect and will, and explains how anyone can fathom and explain even the loftiest truths. Vost and St. Thomas will teach you how to dissect logical fallacies, heresies, and half-truths that continue to pollute our world with muddy thinking. Best of all, you'll find a fully-illustrated set of exercises to improve your intellectual powers of memory, understanding, logical reasoning, shrewdness, foresight, circumspection, and practical wisdom.
