    A Tale of Death and Glory

    Posted by LAI on Apr 20th 2024

    A very good, inspirational and insightful capture of the witness of the great Christian Saint Sebastian. While I have often included Saint Sebastian, particularly during athletic endeavors, in my prayers … Saint Ambrose provides a depth in so few words, of imagination, of the way of a life, a soldiers life, in Christ and the eternal joy of this life that serve only to encourage imitation. I had not previously known, of how great the witness was of this great saint. Highly recommend reading this book

    Compelling account of early Christian martyrs

    Posted by Angela Schaefer on May 26th 2023

    This is an absolutely amazing account of the early Christians during the Diocletion persecutions. St. Ambrose shares the conversion stories of various people under the teaching of St. Sebastian and Polycarp. Wow! The conversions occur like dominoes. One person after the next has a dramatic and sudden conversion; emboldened with faith and zeal. What a blessing to be able to read a work passed on through the ages. This inspirational story provides much encouragement and motivation. Thank you Fr. Nixon for this translation! Thank you Tan!
