Saints Alive!: The Gospel Witnessed
Overview
Combining the art of dramatic storytelling with biography, Church history, and Catholic teaching, this collection of stories features saints from different eras, continents, and walks of life. Each brief story highlights a particular aspect of—or challenge in—the saint’s life, and connects it to a gospel verse. Themes include conversion, discipleship, bearing witness, love, suffering, union with God, living the Word, and faith. Sisters Marie Paul Curley and Mary Lea Hill of the Daughters of St. Paul show how real people lived the gospel and offer inspirational models of the faith. Along with their biographical portraits, each included saint features a prayer, a fact box, notes, lesser-known facts, and a quote from their writings. A reader’s guide contains personal reflection and group discussion questions, and it directs you to relevant parts of the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This unique feature makes the volume ideal for RCIA teachers and participants, adult faith formation groups, parish book clubs, and independent study.
