Many of us fail to recognize that obtaining the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to getting to heaven. We often block their reception through our own faults. We fail to see how they are passed on or strengthened in the sacraments. And, sadly, we forget to petition God in prayer to bestow these gifts upon us.



In this book, Dr. Kevin Vost, bestselling author of The One-Minute Aquinas, provides us with a substantive yet accessible introduction to the seven gifts and how we can humbly submit our wills to the stirrings of the Holy Spirit.



As Dr. Vost explains, these God-given gifts help us to conform our lives to His image, intellect, and will. They prevent us from being drawn into frustration and possibly self-destruction by following our own sensual appetites. Indeed, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the only path to being fully happy on earth and in the life to come.
