Saints at Heart

How Fault-Filled, Problem-Prone, Imperfect People Like Us Can Be Holy

About this book

Saints at Heart presents an engaging picture of the spiritual life as shown in the experience and writings of the saints. The title announces the book's double theme: the lives of holy men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, and to the possibility of our following them and also dedicating our hearts to God. Readers will discover in this book well-told and appealing stories of women and men, ordinary human beings like themselves, who knew God and whose lives as a consequence radiated light, love, and joy. Each story presents the core message of a saint's life and highlights an important spiritual path that readers will be encouraged to follow.
