Book Description
Take a prayerful walk through the Church's liturgical calendar with Lessons from the Lives of the Saints. Each day contains a concise biography of these heroic men and women the Church venerates as saints. Fr. Esper provides a brief overview of each saint's life and explains simple lessons we can draw from his or her example. This book is a fantastic resource for our daily spiritual reading and meditation - a helpful guide that teaches us how to apply the saint's secrets of holiness to our own daily life. Important life lessons that we can learn from the Saints: How true joy comes not from earthly status, but from following Christ like St. Francis of Assisi How God answers our prayers, but often in a way demanding our patience Like Mary Magadalene, how no one is beyond the power of the grace of God How we can worship God and grow in holiness through both work and prayer, sometimes combined How, through charity and prayer, impossible situations can be transformed and family members converted How Christians may be called upon to endure great sufferings - but if so, God will always sustain us

Book Description
“Martin’s final word is as Jungian as it is Catholic: God does not want us to be Mother Teresa or Dorothy Day. God wants us to be most fully ourselves.” —Washington Post Book World WITTY, WRYLY HONEST, AND ALWAYS ORIGINAL, My Life with the Saints is James Martin’s story of how his life has been shaped by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. In his modern classic memoir, Martin introduces us to saints throughout history—from St. Peter to Dorothy Day, St. Francis of Assisi to Mother Teresa—and chronicles his lifelong friendships with them. Filled with fascinating tales, Martin’s funny, vibrant, and stirring book invites readers to discover how saints guide us throughout our earthly journeys and how they help each of us find holiness in our own lives. Featuring a new chapter from Martin, this tenth-anniversary edition of the best-selling memoir updates readers about his life over the past ten years. In that time, he has been a New York Times best-selling author, official chaplain of The Colbert Report, and a welcome presence in the media whenever there’s a breaking Catholic news story. But he has always remained recognizably himself. John L. Allen, Jr., the acclaimed Catholic journalist, contributes a foreword that shows how Martin has become one of the wisest and most insightful voices of this era. “An outstanding and often hilarious memoir.” —Publishers Weekly “One of the best spiritual memoirs in years.” —Robert Ellsberg “Remarkably engaging.” —U.S. Catholic One of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of the Year Winner of the Christopher Award Winner of the Catholic Press Association Book Award
