Ancient writings of saints are often lost in today's world of self-help religious books. But for the saints who have traveled before us, they left a well-marked pathway to discovering a deep, authentic relationship with Jesus--one that reflects the way He lived and how He lived. In this book, authors Eric Sandras and Jason Chatraw take a look at the writings of six saints (St. Francis of Assisi, St. Ambrose of Milan, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and St. Catherine of Genoa) and show how their ancient words are still relevant to today's culture hundreds of years after they were first penned. They were mystics (people who sought to experience God daily), mavericks (people who bucked status quo), and miracle workers (people who experienced the supernatural power of God intersecting with the natural). From their well-worn path, we can learn much about faith and becoming the people God wants us to be.
