Wisdom from Peter Kreeft

Persecution cannot stop the saints. We need not fear persecution. Jesus explicitly told us that: fear not him who can only kill the body; fear him who can kill the soul, in Hell. The world’s most efficient machine for persecution, the Roman Empire, only multiplied Christians by persecuting them.

—Peter Kreeft

from his book, How to Destroy Western Civilization

FIGHT BACK WITH JOY

Peter Kreeft presents a series of brilliant essays about many of the problems that undermine our Western civilization, along with ways to address them. In his witty, readable style, Kreeft implores us to gather wisdom and preserve it, as the monks did in the Middle Ages. He offers relevant philosophical precepts, divided into various categories, that can be collected and remembered in order to guide us and future generations in the days ahead.
