Saints for Sinners

By Alban Goodier

Book Overview

In this beautiful book Archbishop Alban Goodier gives short lives of nine saints, each showing particular ways in which God works within His children to sanctify themselves and those around them. Goodier's point is that we are all God's children and all sinners.

Contained within are the lives of St Augustine, St Margaret of Cortona, St John Of God, St Francis Xavier, St John of the Cross, St Camillus De Lellis, St Joseph Of Cupertino, St Claude De La Colombiere and St Benedict Joseph Labre.

The source of comfort and strength in this book is that there is not a particular way that God forms saints, every saint is unique and has their own challenges, whether they arise from their own actions and past or the actions of others. We are not meant to read this book and say 'Ah, I am not a saint', but, 'Ah I can be a saint too '

Customer Reviews

There's hope for us all!

I bought this book because it contained the stories of some of the saints that I have grown to love, especially St. Joseph of Cupertino, the Flying Friar. Here was a man whom nobody wanted; not even his parents. But God wanted him and showered him with graces all his lonely life. I think that it is the love of God that drew me to this book; God's love for the seemingly unlovable, and their love for Him. Stories of such transformations that they could only be of God. It is a book to feed the soul.

Come as you are

This is a great read. Fun to read. We all have a chance. Here come all the Catholics!
