Synopses & Reviews
The Saints, Humanly Speaking collects the personal letters of saints that show us their human side. The author has gathered a diverse, interesting and inspiring collection of letters by saints, written to their family, their friends, their colleagues and others. Arranged around the topics of Christians in the world, at home, in the church, in life and in death, the letters allow us to see the saints off their pedestals and engaged in the same real-life concerns that we share with them. Dame Felicitas Corrigan, a nun of Stanbrook Abbey who has acquired an intimate knowledge of the saints, orients readers to the letters with a fascinating introduction.
