About the Author
Kevin Vost, Psy.D., obtained his doctor of psychology degree in clinical psychology from Adler University in Chicago with internship and dissertation research at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Alzheimer’s Center, Memory and Aging Clinic. His dissertation was entitled “Executive Functioning in Early Alzheimer’s Disease” and his master’s thesis from Sangamon State University was entitled “Memory Strategy Instruction and the Internalization of Higher Psychological Processes in Adolescence.”
Dr. Vost has taught psychology and gerontology at Aquinas College in Nashville, the University of Illinois at Springfield, MacMurray College, and Lincoln Land Community College. He has also served as a Research Review Committee member for American Mensa and as an advisory-board member for the International Association of Resistance Trainers. In 2017, Kevin and his wife, Kathy, became lay Dominican Associates with the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois.
Dr. Vost is the author of more than a dozen Catholic books, has appeared on hundreds of Catholic radio and television broadcasts, and has traveled across the United States and Ireland, giving talks on the themes of his books. When home, he continues to drink great draughts of coffee while studying timeless, Thomistic tomes in the company of his wife, their two sons, and their two dogs.

Sophia Institute
Sophia Institute is a nonprofit institution that seeks to nurture the spiritual, moral, and cultural life of souls and to spread the Gospel of Christ in conformity with the authentic teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Sophia Institute Press fulfills this mission by offering translations, reprints, and new publications that afford readers a rich source of the enduring wisdom of mankind.
Sophia Institute also operates two popular online Catholic resources: CrisisMagazine.com and CatholicExchange.com.
Crisis Magazine provides insightful cultural analysis that arms readers with the arguments necessary for navigating the ideological and theological minefields of the day. Catholic Exchange provides world news from a Catholic perspective as well as daily devotionals and articles that will help you to grow in holiness and live a life consistent with the teachings of the Church.
In 2013, Sophia Institute launched Sophia Institute for Teachers to renew and rebuild Catholic culture through service to Catholic education. With the goal of nurturing the spiritual, moral, and cultural life of souls, and an abiding respect for the role and work of teachers, we strive to provide materials and programs that are at once enlightening to the mind and ennobling to the heart; faithful and complete, as well as useful and practical.
Sophia Institute gratefully recognizes the Solidarity Association for preserving and encouraging the growth of our apostolate over the course of many years. Without their generous and timely support, this book would not be in your hands.
