5.0 out of 5 stars The wisdom of the saints can change your life, February 3, 2005

This review is from: Quotable Saints (Paperback)

This is a wonderful collection of the wisdom of the saints, venerables and blesseds arranged topically. In each chapter we are shown how the saints were able to wrestle a particular vice to the spiritual ground. Their wisdom and insights will help the reader advance from the natural, fallen state of a man to a glorified, sanctified state. For instance, we shall be moved from a state of disorder to order, from disobedience to obedience, from sadness to joyfulness, from timidity to courage, from greed to simplicity, and from resentment to forgiveness. It is easier to find the way through the spiritual forests of our life if someone has gone before us hacking away the weeds and thorns of confusion, doubt and discouragement. The saints (following Christ Himself) have done this for us and this book will show you the path they forged and trod so that we too can reach heaven.

This review is from: Quotable Saints (Paperback)

"Quotable Saints" is a book containing a collections of sayings from many Saints, Blesseds, and Venerables, both famous and obscure. Organized into 30 topics, they provide the reader with entertaining reading, leavened by quotes which are insightful, edifying, and, in some cases, humorous. Some quotes will help you see life differently, others will spice your speech and writing, and some will just make you laugh. I enjoyed reading "Quotable Saints" and am confident that you will also.
