Voices of the Saints: A 365-Day Journey with Our Spiritual Companions

With 365 saints in this book-from popular figures to little-known individuals-every reader can be assured of finding his or her favorite saints. Readers can locate saints chronologically, alphabetically, by feast day, even by theme (such as conversion, forgiveness, humility, and miracles). The saint's patronage is listed when available, as is the date of beatification or canonization. While the reference possibilities are abundant, best-selling author Bert Ghezzi has taken exceptional care to ensure that the inspiring stories of these saints of these saints are still the primary focus of the book, and each entry is written in such a way as to help us feel the companionship of the saint. The voice of each saint comes through clearly in quotations drawn from their own wrifings, the recollections of witnesses, and the careful work of biographers. Each entry concludes with a Scripture verse or prayer.
