Jordan Aumann, OP, masterfully gathers and organizes selections from the greatest works of Venerable Louis of Granada according to the structure and themes of St. Thomas Aquinas&rsquo;s <em>Summa Theologica</em>. The result is a coherent, accessible presentation of Catholic doctrine and spirituality that unites theology with lived Christian experience.</p>\n<p>Drawing from classics such as <em>The Book of Prayer and Meditation</em>, <em>The Sinner&rsquo;s Guide</em>, <em>Memorial of the Christian Life</em>, and other foundational texts, this series presents the full scope of the Christian life, from the nature of God and creation to the moral life, the sacraments, and the last things. These are not abstract excerpts, but carefully chosen passages meant to form the mind and inflame the heart.</p>\n<p>Venerable Louis of Granada stands among the most influential spiritual teachers of the sixteenth century. Though born into extreme poverty and acquainted with suffering, he became a Dominican preacher whose clarity, humility, and charity drew countless souls to God. His works were praised and recommended by saints across centuries and were famously described by St. Francis de Sales as a &ldquo;second Breviary.&rdquo; Uniquely for his time, Louis wrote primarily for the laity, combining depth with simplicity in a way few spiritual writers have matched.</p>\n<!-- Conversion Bullets -->\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>Study Catholic theology and spirituality in a clear, integrated structure.</li>\n<li>Learn from one of the Church&rsquo;s greatest masters of the interior life.</li>\n<li>See doctrine applied directly to prayer, virtue, and daily Christian living.</li>\n<li>Benefit from Fr.

Summa of the Christian Life (Complete 3-Volume Set)

By Fr. Jordan Aumann, OP · Featuring the writings of Venerable Louis of Granada · Published by TAN Books

Overview

In the Summa of the Christian Life collection, Fr. Jordan Aumann, OP, masterfully gathers and organizes selections from the greatest works of Venerable Louis of Granada according to the structure and themes of St. Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica. The result is a coherent, accessible presentation of Catholic doctrine and spirituality that unites theology with lived Christian experience.

Drawing from classics such as The Book of Prayer and Meditation, The Sinner’s Guide, Memorial of the Christian Life, and other foundational texts, this series presents the full scope of the Christian life, from the nature of God and creation to the moral life, the sacraments, and the last things. These are not abstract excerpts, but carefully chosen passages meant to form the mind and inflame the heart.

Venerable Louis of Granada stands among the most influential spiritual teachers of the sixteenth century. Though born into extreme poverty and acquainted with suffering, he became a Dominican preacher whose clarity, humility, and charity drew countless souls to God. His works were praised and recommended by saints across centuries and were famously described by St. Francis de Sales as a “second Breviary.” Uniquely for his time, Louis wrote primarily for the laity, combining depth with simplicity in a way few spiritual writers have matched.
