This review is from: Pocket Guide to Sainthood: The Field Manual for the Super-Virtuous Life (Paperback)
As an atheist I naturally look very skeptically at religiously themed books. But after visiting the author's blog and having become familiar with his style, I had to read this book. I wasn't disappointed.A quick and easy read, it's a delightful tour of the amazingly bizarre and often little known personages who have achieved sainthood. Filled with humor, disarmingly snarky, Mr. Boyett has taken what could have been a dry semi-historical apologetic and made it a fun read. I found myself chuckling and scratching my head in wonder at the amazing (and often far fetched) attributes with which the ancients credited their holy men. While a believer himself, Mr. Boyett doesn't take himself or his subject too seriously, which is a breath of fresh air in this genre. The information packed into this small book alone makes it worth the price, but the style makes it priceless. I'm looking forward to reading his other "pocket guides" in the series. |
