Full Description
In a culture where hearts are warmed by stories and personalities, rather than theories and propositions, this book is an invitation to share the authors' experience of becoming friends in faith with the saints and mystics.
Those who feature reflect the wide sweep of Christian spiritual heritage: several are from the ancient and Celtic background; several reflect medieval spirituality - including women's spirituality; there are the so-called 'Spanish Mystics', and some from more recent times.
In short chapters which provide a brief summary of each saint's experience of prayer and spirituality, Jill and Nicholas reflect on how the saints have enabled them to grow in insight and maturity. Engagingly, they respond to each other's encounters - focusing particularly on the biblical sources of each saint's spiritual life - to help these voices speak more clearly to all of us. Each chapter concludes with a study guide for individual or group study.
