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?
