The Active and Contemlative life of St. Joan of Arc,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Spiritual Way of St. Jeanne D'Arc (Paperback)
George Tavard in 'The Spiritual Way of St. Jeanne d'Arc' describes Joan's dedication to spiritual virginity as 'one cannot clean one's conscience too much.' Even though she also included sexual continence, the spiritual virginity is an example for all to follow if we want to love and serve God and our fellow man. It is a constant looking at our life in order to see what we must change. The core of this is her reliance on God at all times. It is an example for all of us who at times in our life feel hopeless when we rely on our limitations. Many of the lives of the Saints are written devoid of any anger or human faults. This book shows Joan's humanness and anger, sometimes bordering on sarcasm, to questions that were misleading and deceitful. It also show's how she integrated her interior life of contemplation with God into her active life of leadership for the liberation of France. Joan of Arc is a timeless model for all men and women to follow. I highly recommend this book as a companion to 'Joan of Arc, Her Story' by Regine Pernoud and Marie-Veronique Clin. Art Dugan

Superb Spiritual Portrait,

This review is from: The Spiritual Way of St. Jeanne D'Arc (Paperback)
Since Saint Jeanne, la Pucelle, daughter of God, is my patron saint I truly love this book. It will appeal most, of course, to those who believe in her sainthood. However, it does have a great deal of excellent secular historical fact also. Of all the books on the topic of Jeanne d'Arc that I have read so far this one is unique in it's detailed and interesting coverage of the spiritual side of her. Like the author, my interest in St. Jeanne began in my childhood. I no longer remember all the details as to how that came about but my interest in her was rekindled during an unexpected military career and I wear her medal to this day. For those who love and pray to St. Jeanne d'Arc this book is a must. For those simply interested in her story this is an excellent part of the whole picture. I also find it a handy reference book on Jeanne d'Arc's life.
