Living the Truth

C P Bowler wrote a series of booklets aimed at high school students in New Zealand.

They make an awesome introduction to Thomistic Philosophy and general Catholic teaching.

I’m not sure of the copyright of the booklets. A teacher has scanned in and converted the entire series to word doc files, one for each chapter. Here they are concatenated into one 884 page PDF I will finally accept that I am terrible at asking permission for clearing copyright and will link what I have here for now and if anyone has a problem with that, I have a contact page you can use to get in touch.

UPDATE: I have contacted the Marist Archives in New Zealand and the whole work is considered out of copyright.

Another family has set chapters 1-28 up as a big hardcover book through Lulu
