'Words for our Time: The Spiritual Words of Matthew the Poor' serves as an introduction into the life, but more so the teachings of Father Matthew the Poor. It contains a collection of His sermons and writings divided into four main sections: Spirituality, Christian Living, On Scripture, and On Feasts and Fasts. It’s clear from the start, this Father has a deep and thorough understanding of the bible. He offers the reader pearls of wisdom that would otherwise take a lifetime to uncover. Using a conversational tone, the chapters are easy to follow. At times the reader may feel they are sitting by the feet of this great elder as he encourages, and at times rebukes. This book is a spiritual treasure that should be unpacked across an entire lifetime. It’s no wonder this father is one of the greatest and most influential speakers of our time.
