Product Description

Review

Saints have typically been figures from the distant past, canonized for miraculous lives of perfection and self-denial. Orbis editor-in-chief Ellsberg here redefines this stereotype in this diverse and substantial compendium of the lives of men and women, ancient and contemporary, who gave themselves completely to their vocations. Well-known saints, apostles, and martyrs take their place beside lesser-known figures (the woman with a flow of blood who touched Jesus' hem), theologians and philosophers (e.g., Martin Buber, Simone Weil, Kierkegaard), artists (Van Gogh, Mozart, J.S. Bach), literary figures (Dante, Tolstoy), social reformers (Gandhi, Schweitzer), and numerous others who do not fit into neat categories. A different figure is introduced for each day of the year to coincide with feast days or birth/death dates, and helpful biographical sources are provided. --Library Journal


Product Description

This praised and best-selling daily reader presents short, comprehensive biographies of 365 saints and spiritual masters from Christianity and other faith traditions, including Mary Magdalene, Therese of Lisieux, Thomas Aquinas, Mother Teresa, Moses, Martin Luther, and Gandhi.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful, inclusive "cloud of witnesses", 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
All Saints is truly remarkable. While there are many traditional collections honoring Catholic saints, this is the first I have seen that is truly catholic (universal) in embracing many different traditions and the best of those traditions. Ellsburg's book reminds me that saints are made, not born. Each day I am presented with the story of some man or woman who struggled to grow in relationship with God and to live well in the world around him/her. Many advocates of social justice and modern "saints" (as modern as the 90s) are included here, which is wonderful to see. I have ordered many copies for family and friends! No one who knows the value of role models should be without one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book!, 3 Nov 1998
By A Customer
We are all called to be saints, regardless of the religion we profess. To serve God is to serve one another - there is no other way. Robert Ellsberg shows that there are as many roads to sainthood as there are people who love God. The people profiled here come from all faiths, ages, occupations, nations. Some are mystical, some mythical, some famous and others obscure, some are remarkable and others more ordinary. They are all, as are we, revelations of God's love and presence in our world, yesterday, today, and forever. This book is Ellsberg's gift for all of us looking to serve God in our day to day lives; it's wonderful to read first thing in the morning if one is given to morning prayer. It could also hold the interest of those among us less interested in the formalities and dogmas of established religions and yet drawn to spirituality and advocacy in the world. Noteworthy are the icons by Robert Lentz - I wish they graced more than just the cover of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am buying copies to give to friends. It is low-priced., 10 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This is a masterpiece and unique of its kind. William Blake? (August 12) Flannery O'Connor? (August 3) Mary, Mother of Jesus (January 1). There are 365 of them and the vignettes are thoroughly researched. Ellsberg writes like an angel. Cheez, where has this Ellsberg been all my life? This is a "vade-mecum" if there ever was one. I can't wait to see it every morning. In his Frontispiece, he quotes Thomas Merton (December 10), "There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun." Robert Ellsberg has sure got me looking.
