St. Alphonsus is considered the doctor of moral theology and this work contains his unabridged work on moral theology which considers some principles but focuses on individual moral considerations as an aid to confessors (priests hearing confessions). It was the standard textbook of moral theology for years - at least in conjunction with the seconda secundae of St. Thomas.

In his early 30s, Greg Baxter found himself in a strange place. He hated his job, he was drinking excessively, he was sabotaging his most important relationships, and he was no longer doing the thing he cared about the most: writing. In this book he reveals how he found redemption through reading, teaching and truth.
