About Voices Of The Saints: A 365-Day Journey With Our
Product Description Catholics around the world rely on the Catholic saints for guidance and inspiration . . . so it's important that the saints and their stories be easy to find. Voices of the Saints by Bert Ghezzi provides readers with many convenient ways to look up 365 Catholic saints: chronologically, alphabetically, by feast day, even by theme. The saint's patronage is also listed when available, as is the date of beatification or canonization. While the reference possibilities are abundant, the inspiring stories 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 writings, the recollection of witnesses, and the careful work of biographers. From the Back Cover It’s easier than ever to find your favorite saint—and 364 more! With 365 saints in this book, you can be assured of finding your favorite saint and meeting many new ones. But each of us has our own reasons for studying or meditating on the heroes of the Church, and Voices of the Saints takes this into account: saints can be referenced chronologically, alphabetically, by feast day, even by theme—such as conversion, forgiveness, and humility. The saint’s patronage is listed when available, as is the date of beatification or canonization.While the ways to locate saints in this updated edition are plentiful, best-selling author Bert Ghezzi has taken exceptional care to ensure that the inspiring stories of these saints are still the primary focus of the book, and each entry is written in such a way that we truly feel the companionship of the saint. The voices of the saints come through clearly in quotations drawn from their own writings, the recollections of witnesses, and the careful work of biographers. Each entry concludes with a Scripture verse or prayer to help us reflect more deeply on the story.
