Free Kindle Formatted Church Fathers

This is an old project that I worked on a long time ago. It took ages to put an active Table of Contents in each book, but it is done. Because I did this so long ago, I don't know which web pages I got these from, but I do know that I got many - if not most - of these from Turretinfan's blog before turning them into Kindle books. A couple of the Anti-Nicene volumes are missing, though most of them are here. As always, you can say thanks by visiting our sponsor, and in the process, helping me pay for my books for seminary.

Gregory of Naziansus: Prayer Before Reading Scripture

Father of Christ, all-seeing, hear our prayers;
Look kindly on your servant’s solemn song.
He turns his footsteps down a godly path,
Who knows, while living, the ingenerate God,
And Christ, the king who bans all mortal ills.
Once, out of pity for our hard-pressed race,
Freely conforming to the Father’s will,
He changed his form, taking our mortal frame
Though he was God immortal, freeing us all
From Tartarus’s bondage by his blood.

Come now, refresh this soul of yours with words—
Pure, godly sayings from this sacred book;
Gaze here upon the servants of your Truth
Proclaiming life in voices echoing heaven!
