Thomas More: A Portrait of Courage
By: Gerard B. Wegemer
Facilitated By: Bob Atwell, president & CEO, Nicolet National Bank

From Amazon.com
One of history's most admired figures, Thomas More stands as a model of courage, integrity, fortitude, and other virtues. As a highly successful lawyer, diplomat, and father of a large family, he sacrificed everything that the world holds dear for what his conscience dictated was a principle that could not be sacrificed.

The Catholic Church recognized his heroic virtue and holiness by making him a saint along with Bishop John Fisher on the 400th anniversary of their martyrdoms in 1935. This new biography details the hidden spiritual life of More. What motivated his spiritual struggle? How did his writings open a window into his inner life?

The 2008-2009 Read to Lead schedule with a list of facilitators and book selections can be obtained by clicking here. It is not required that you have read the book, simply that you enjoy the conversation. RSVP to Brian Johnson is requested this year due to limited space.
