Fr. Arthur Tonne | Bio
"The only unusual feature of these sermons is that each one begins with a story or illustration. Of the Divine Preacher we read:
 
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without parables he did not speak to them. Matthew, 13:34.
 
We do well to attempt the same." (Author’s Introduction)
 
This work from late 1945 is one of Fr. Arthur Tonne’s earliest publication endeavors. Within this tome he constrasts the Parables of Christ with a spiritual lesson while providing its practical application.
 
The list of topics addressed are numerous—62 in all—and illustrate such matters as the practice of virtue, aspects of the spiritual life, social and ecclesiastical issues, and the public witness of our Catholic religion through our words and actions.
 
Thus, for every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation, Fr. Tonne connects With Parables an important lesson for our daily lives as Catholics with the objective of sanctifying ourselves and thereby obtaining eternal life.

REVIEWS
Fr. Kevin Robinson
I have been hoping to get the Fr. Tonne books republished for years now.

They have proven to be very helpful, not only for sermons, but conferences, advent and lenten days of recollection.

Each topic is addressed briefly, yet sufficiently comprehensive to be of great value. Every sermon starts with a short story of great interest and comes back to the main point of this story at the end.

The doctrinal points are quite orthodox, bullet pointed, complete; and yet any one idea can be elaborated as much as one wishes.

I strongly recommend these books as gifts to priests. It will help them so much in their most challenging sacred duty of expounding the Word of God in the most effective and interesting way.

Of course, these books are not just for priests, the lay people who would benefit greatly from reflecting on these treasures from the late Fr. Tonne.
