Saints, Christian Life, Christian Saints 

Why are the sayings of the Saints so provocative, so powerful, so profound? Why are the Saints able to distill into so few words encyclopedias of meaning about our holy religion and just what it is we must do to please God and save our souls? They were mortals just as we. Yes, but their lives were a total dedication to the service of God and the saving of their souls. And, as "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt. 12:34), so they are able to convey to us in just a few words the great wisdom of their lives, their experience and their prayer - all of which they so completely dedicated to God.

In The Voice of the Saints, the noted Catholic author, Francis Johnston, has assembled for our view some of the most memorable sayings of many of the greatest and best-loved Saints of the Church. Organizing these sayings under seventeen different headings, he has prepared a beautiful compilation of saintly wisdom on such topics as love of God, prayer, salvation, marriage, the world, humility, contrition, the Blessed Eucharist, the Blessed Virgin, suffering, chastity, and trust in God.

Here is a book to inspire and instruct on every page. Here is a book the reader will take up again and again for a periodic needed refresher on the true, Catholic view of life. Here is a book that will serve as a constant reminder that "we are not of this world," that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood," and that we "have been redeemed at a great price."
