By St John Chrysostom
translated by David C. Ford

This delightfully compact volume combines the accessibility of language with frankness of message that has made St. John Chrysostom dear to readers for generations. David Ford's new translation of selected passages from the "golden-mouthed" preacher's prodigious output preserves the immediacy of the original, bursting with enthusiasm for his listener's ear while remaining economical in the medium of communication.

This volume marks the last of the series comprising excerpts from the homilies of St. John related to various aspects of daily Christian living. These include:

The Home as a Little Church
Living a Life of Virtue
Prayer
Joy
Humility
Bearing Tribulations Nobly
