SAINTS

This memoir tackles twelve different spiritual practices in a quest to become more saintly, including fasting, fixed-hour prayer, the Jesus Prayer, gratitude, Sabbath-keeping, and generosity.

Includes details about his spiritual life and noble lineage; how he was prefigured in the Old Testament; his relationship to Mary and Jesus; why he has been named by Pope Pius IX "The Patron of the Universal Church;"

What do we know about him? For most of us, the answer is, Not much. Now, in these highly intimate, insightful, easy-to-read meditations, the late, noted Scripture scholar Fr. Richard Gilsdorf investigates the New Testaments most mysterious figure.

The Confessions is a dramatic personal narrative of a soul choosing between eternal life and death, an exploration of the timeless questions great minds have been asking for millennia and a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Age Range: 9 - 12 years With Mother Teresa as our model & intercessor, we can reshape the world we live by loving our families, friends, & neighbors in the way Jesus has asked. As Mother Teresa said, "Holiness grows so fast where there is kindness."

Unique to this book is a portion of edition rarely seen, describing the saint’s final days as seen through the eyes of the Sisters of the Lisieux Carmel; & a collection of firsthand anecdotes about Thérèse recounted by the Sisters following her death

A complete unabridged work, longer than most editions available. Millions of hearts are touched by St. Therese of Lisieux's desire, not to be mighty and great, but to be a humble, little flower that would gladden God's eyes as He glances down.

You will learn how Clare's spirituality influenced that of other prominent women, how Francis lost control of his own movement, and why Francis's body was secretly buried after his death.

This "Paraclete Giants" edition includes the complete Road to Assisi, Paul Sabatier's ground-breaking and foundational biography of the saint, first published in French in 1894 and re-issued and expanded in 2002; the complete Francis in His Own Words

“This book is easy to read and gives insights into the spiritual life and relationship with Jesus that drove this carrier of God's love to serve the poorest of the poor.” And something else as well - revelations of Mother Teresa's sense of humor!

The meaning may well differ for each reader. The descriptions of Curé’s encounters with Satan and "his lesser angels" and of the hours in the confessional were my own personal rediscoveries. Pope John Paul II given at Ars is an extraordinary bonus.

This book is a masterpiece from which all other Christian memoirs flow. Augustine's amazing story is as fresh as it was when he wrote it in the late 4th century. It speaks with a clear, vivid and altogether distinctive voice to believers and seekers.
