Signs and Stories of Holiness
"I love this book. I am a Secular Franciscan and I am most interested in Franciscan Saints. This book is so helpful I wish I had it years ago. I can’t wait to share it with my friends." —an Amazon reviewer
These 101 spiritual trailblazers span the centuries from Francis and Clare to Solanus Casey and Mychal Judge, representing people from every walk of life and corner of the world.
Each entry features the essential biographical facts and adds the insight and depth only Robert Ellsberg can provide. The author’s sharp eye for signs and stories of holiness in the gritty, messy real world informs his selections, making his work unique. Obscure lay peasants, married activists, and controversial social reformers take pride of place alongside better-known theologians, founders, and canonized saints. Ellsberg broadens the traditional vision of sanctity and calls modern readers of all stripes to claim their potential for moral and spiritual growth, courage and action.
