The Church Fathers as Spiritual Mentors: Faith Is IlluminedHistorian Michael Haykin examines the lives of such church fathers as Irenaeus of Lyons, Cyprian of Carthage, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, Macarius and Augustine, as he uncovers the theological debates, councils, creeds and preaching of the ancient church (A.

Historian Michael Haykin examines the lives of such church fathers as Irenaeus of Lyons, Cyprian of Carthage, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, Macarius and Augustine, as he uncovers the theological debates, councils, creeds and preaching of the ancient church (A.D. 100–600). After the foundational ministry of the apostles, these early church leaders were pivotal to the formation of theological creeds, the defence of the faith against error and heresy and the development of early church ecclesiastical structure.

Defending the authority of the Scriptures, the doctrine of the Trinity, the godhead of the Holy Spirit and the deity of Christ, these church leaders provide a great example of the apologetic work of the ministry and the need for pastors to be astute to the theological challenges of the day. Dr. Haykin also considers the influence of the emperor Constantine and the development of the papacy and addresses such “modern” issues as abortion and the millennium. We owe the church fathers a great debt for their example of a committed, living faith.

______________

‘Haykin does a great work. It should be no surprise. I do not know so much about titling the series as mentoring, because he does give us an excellent review of tier theology and even the struggles that came about. Remember, that most of what we call dogma or doctrine, came out of great debates. He reviews the debate. So rather than an example to emulate, he discusses the basic tenets of the faith. It is definitely a nice survey of an era of church history that is usually reduced to a few key names. Do not overlook the chapter on the origins of the papacy. It shows how the church in error came to be and how history will always repeat itself.’ Matthew A. Crawford

Rugged, Reliable, and Built to Last
I picked up this Carhartt billfold wallet a while ago, and it’s exactly what I expected from the brand—tough, well-made, and built for everyday use. It’s holding up great, even after months of being stuffed in my pocket, dropped, and tossed around. What I Like: Durable Materials: The leather and stitching are rugged and high quality. It still looks good and hasn’t shown signs of wear. Plenty of Storage: There’s more than enough space for cards, cash, and ID, and it doesn’t bulk up too much. The removable passcase is a nice bonus. Classic Look: Clean, no-nonsense design. It has a workwear vibe that fits the Carhartt name perfectly. Comfortable to Carry: Even fully loaded, it fits nicely in my back pocket without being uncomfortable or bulky. Feels Like It'll Last for Years: You can tell this wallet was made with longevity in mind. Final Thoughts: If you want a simple, reliable wallet that won’t fall apart on you, this one’s a great pick. It looks good, performs even better, and lives up to the Carhartt name. Highly recommend for anyone who values durability over flash.

Overall it's a pretty nice wallet, and its different, unique.
Color: Carhartt Brown
This is a nice wallet. I am deducting one star for the reason another buyer noted. The card pockets are extremely tight. A solution that I came up with was to take a plastic putty knife and push down inside the card pockets and stretch the material out, this helped a bunch! One thing I really like, the material is not as slick as a leather wallet, so if a person has trouble with their wallet sliding out of their pocket, I think this one would be less likely to do that. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.

This is the wallet you actually want.
Bought in late 2018, letting this wallet retire now in early 2026. Strong, durable wallet. For the money, definitely worth it.

Very Durable
This is the second wallet I've bought. Same type. First one was for a durability test. Pull, stretch, bend, twist at the seam, and it held up much better than similar wallets in the same price range. Highly recommend this wallet if you are hard on them like I am. Plenty of space for cards, cash, receipts, random papers and other items that seem to find their way into it throughout the year. And still doesn't feel big and bulky to sit on. I was a die hard trifold guy for many years because I couldn't find a bifold that could hold all my stuff in it. But this bifold holds everything and still has plenty of room for more. If you want a good quality wallet for a decent price the mossy oak Carhartt bifold is definitely the way to go, you won't be disappointed.
