There are scared Saints, brilliant Saints, weak Saints, adventurous Saints, abused Saints, overjoyed Saints, disabled Saints—and the point of every one of them is the love of God.

Book Synopsis Butler's Lives of the Saints by : Bernard Bangley
Download or read book Butler's Lives of the Saints written by Bernard Bangley and published by Paraclete Press (MA). This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no greater authority on the saints than Alban Butler, and his enormous research has been the standard reference on the subject for the last two and a half centuries. This new adaptation of Butler's multi-volume Lives of the Saints presents a modernized text for today's reader and provides an illuminating guide to these historic, symbolic, and foundational Christian men and women. Butler's daily readings from the lives and works of the saints offer readers of all backgrounds the opportunity to engage directly with these great figures. Butler's distinctive contribution to stories about saints was to turn attention away from the superhuman, miraculous themes that are prevalent in earlier works. He gives us saints who are examples of Christian living, who provide inspiration for our own lives, in every time and circumstance. As Butler writes: "They were once what we are now, travelers on earth. They had the same weaknesses we have. We have difficulties; so had the saints." Important features of this version include mention of recently canonized saints as well as those whose path to official sainthood is still in progress. Also included in the daily readings are more obscure saints whose lives and contributions to Christianity should not be forgotten.
Book Synopsis The Big Book of Women Saints by : Sarah Gallick
Download or read book The Big Book of Women Saints written by Sarah Gallick and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating collection that profiles more than 400 inspiring Catholic women.” —Library Journal Most books about the saints are thin on women, especially contemporary women. Even Fr. Alban Butler’s popular Lives of the Saints lists far more men than women. No book about the saints could ignore such beloved early martyrs as Agnes of Rome and Lucy of Syracuse, but this new book will introduce you to many new women who have been canonized or beatified in recent decades. Among them are martyrs and mystics, rebellious daughters, loving wives and mothers, reformed prostitutes, restless visionaries, and humble recluses. Of the hundreds of women mentioned, 159 have been canonized or beatified since 1979. Approximately 100 of them lived in the twentieth century. This book is also unique in that it uses the saint's own words wherever possible, taking advantage of newly discovered archives, memoirs, and other primary sources. It includes resources such as internet shrines and other websites, as well as little-known information on the canonization process. “A beautiful and concise guide to the luminous women who inspire us to deeper faith.” —Edward L. Beck, author of God Underneath: Spiritual Memoirs of a Catholic Priest
