Description
In this engaging book, Archbishop Alban Goodier proposes brief biographies of nine well-known saints—Augustine, Margaret of Cortona, John of God, Francis Xavier, John of the Cross, Camillus de Lellis, Joseph of Cupertino, Claude de la Colombiere and Benedict Joseph Labre—each portraying unique ways in which God works within His children to convert them, lead them to sanctity and become a channel of spiritual rebirth and holiness for others.
The author’s theme is that, though we are all sinners, we are all God’s children and called to become saints. God has many ways of forming His saints, and each one is unique, just as each one has his or her own challenges. Whether we have a checkered past or have been victims of the sins of others, our instinctive reaction after reading this book will not be: ‘Ah, I am not a saint,’ but rather, ‘Ah! I too can be a saint!’
