Stories of Saints and the Beatitudes

“The Beatitudes are a guide to sainthood. Stories of Saints and the Beatitudes shares exciting stories of real people which show that living the Beatitudes is possible and that we, too, can be saints in our ordinary day-to-day living,” —from the Foreword by Deacon Pedro Guevara-Mann

These well-researched, novelized stories will spur you to be a sign of God’s blessings for others and show that living out the Beatitudes is not only possible but transformative. Featuring saints from around the world and supplemental materials for group study, Stories of Saints and the Beatitudesoffers readers a practical and deeply personal roadmap to holiness and is ideal for personal spiritual reading, book clubs, and faith formation programs. Each story includes a personal challenge for the reader, a prayer, key facts and historical context, and quotes from the saints, plus a reader’s guide and suggested Scripture and catechetical readings for further study.
