Song of the Saints - by Catherine Gotschall (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what the saints would say if they could speak to you? Saints have long been a source of inspiration and solace for Christians--from Ambrose of Milan of the early Church, to Hildegard of Bingen of the medieval period, to Frederick Douglass of nineteenth-century abolitionist renown--but few would say they truly know these sources of timeless wisdom. The prayers in Song of the Saints, intended for use in conjunction with Anglican prayer beads, offer a remedy: a tried and tested prayer practice designed to bring readers into a deeper communion with the saints throughout the liturgical year.

Selected from various Christian liturgical calendars, the featured saints are accompanied by an icon-like image, an original prayer, and a brief spiritual biography, which offers readers a window into the context in which the saint lived. Ultimately, readers aren't just learning about the saints--they're engaging with them, actively exploring their lives, their teachings, and most of all, their heart.
