There is nothing quite like reading the lives of the saints to give us hope and inspiration. Saints for Sinners from Sophia Institute Press brings many of these inspiring and holy lives to the reader drawing both from well-known and obscure saints' lives. Archbishop Alban Goodier selected these saints because in many ways their lives seemed like failures. In the eyes of the world, they amounted to very little--or so it seemed in their own time. In the eyes of God, however, their lives remain as heavenly models for us today!
Two aspects make this volume relevant and timely. First, these saints did not live stellar lives from day one: on the contrary. They inspire exactly because we are able to identify with them, in our own weaknesses. But they completely trusted in God, and immersed in this Love they shone. Second, the archbishop's writing is simply delightful! His accounts of these suffered, troubled yet beautiful lives will read like no other saints' biographies collection.
