Act.: Make Better Decisions with the Desert Fathers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFather Augustine Wetta reaches back into monastic history to answer one of the most critical questions facing young people today: \"How do I make up my mind?\" With his characteristic wit and novel approach to classical art, Father Augustine looks to the wisdom of the Desert Fathers to unearth an ancient and highly efficient method for resolving life's most pressing dilemmas--even in the midst of distractions, temptations, and disruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfoundly Biblical and astonishingly practical, these trailblazing saints laid the foundations of Christian discernment by combining their genius for interpreting Scripture with their uncompromising search for the truth. Their patience and remarkable sense of humor gave their words a practicality that speaks as clearly today as it did in the third century. In three steps, each broken down into three parts, the Desert Fathers will teach you how to make decisions in a way that is peaceful, joyful, focused, realistic, and open to the ever-prodding finger of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs he did in his best-selling \u003ci\u003eHumility Rules, \u003c\/i\u003e Father Wetta illustrates each chapter with color reproductions of famous works of art that he has embellished with comic flourishes.
