This is the classic life of St Catherine by her spiritual director. He tells of her only what he experienced firsthand, or of what he learned firsthand from her mother, her sisters, her family members and friends. An incredible life, told simply and straightforwardly, without embellishment and without dodging her many miracles, and miraculous conversions. This book puts you squarely in the presence of one of Holy Mother Church's greatest saints.

The Life of St. Catherine of Siena,
By Nancy Maffeo (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Life of St. Catherine of Siena (Paperback)
I like biographies. This gem is well worth the reading. The reader is given a "fly on the wall" view of this exceptional woman. I know more about the 14th century Christian culture and am the richer for it.
This is an easy read. I know as I reread The Dialogue I will have a deeper appreciation of how its message could impact history and the Christian Church.

Great Perspective on a Special Human Being,

This review is from: The Life of St. Catherine of Siena (Paperback)
I like to read the saints because they provide so much usefull information for my own spiritual journey. This book on St. Catherine of Siena opened my eyes to the exceptional human being this woman was. It is well written and not as difficult to keep reading as some other books on saints, which can become tedious after a while. Worth your time.

An amazing woman and story,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Life of St. Catherine of Siena (Paperback)
Catherine of Siena makes Joan of Arc seem like a school girl, (which I guess she was.) Raymond, her confessor and the author, had intimate access to her thoughts and inner experiences, and we get to peek over his shoulder, into the mind and life of one of the most amazing people who ever lived. This story is not just for Catholics. (I'm not one.) It is a story of countless miracles, of love itself manifesting in human form. I will treasure her, and this book always.
