A Thomistic Guide to Spiritual Growth
Through the Virtues and the Gifts

Dr. Kevin Vost's books have been a source of inspiration and personal challenge since I first discovered them a few years ago. His balanced approach to life, of developing body mind and spirit, is encouraging and mirrors my own journey to find wholeness in life. Jesus said "I am come that they may have life and have it to the full," from John 10:10. I believe that full is a balanced life, and Dr. Vost helps a reader to achieve that. In each of his books that I have read from Memorize the Faith to Fit For Eternal Life and now in this new volume Unleashing Your Ten Talents Kevin unlocks truths and then makes them available for those of us on the same journey.
In this book Dr. Vost begins with the Gospel parable of the talents, where some have been buried in the ground, and some, by others, multiplied. What Kevin Vost unearths here is a treasure for those of us who are struggling to live a life of Christian virtue. The ten particular talents that God has given each of us as our own are ours to either bury or to multiply for our good and the good of the Kingdom. The specific talents he exams are:
Part I The Talents of Learning
1. Understanding . . . Understanding.
2. The Science of Science
3. Words of Wisdom
Part II The Talents of Living
4. Forging Fortitude.
5. Tempering Temperance
6. Justifying Justice
7. Practicing Prudence
Part III Talents of Loving
8. Fostering Faith
9. Harnessing Hope
10.Cherishing Charity

This book will help you answer these questions: Do you know what your ten talents are? Do you know what God wants you to do with your life? And to learn how to live and mature in them and their use, Kevin will help take these deep theological and philosophical ideals and present them in such a way that you will be able to apply them. It is another excellent book by an author who uses his talents to help all of us improve.
