Finding Confidence in Times of Trial - Letters of St. John of Avila (Paperback)

Meet the newest doctor of the Catholic Church. St. John of Avila (1500-1569) led an authentic effort to reform the Church and Christian society during one of the darkest hours. Faced with spiritually bankrupt seminaries and lax universities, St. John founded new ones. To help Catholics come to know the man who Pope Benedict XVI calls the 34th Doctor of the Church, Sophia Institute Press is releasing a collection of St. John's finest letters, carefully translated and available so you can come to know the man Pope John Paul II held up as a model for clerical reform.
