Summary
öThe only tragedy is not be a saintö, wrote the French novelist Léon Bloy. And St. Francis de Sales said, ôA sad saint would be a sorry saint.ö But what is saint? One way to answer is to analyze sanctity, theologically and psychologically. Another way, which is the path Frank Sheed chose in creating this volume, is to show you a saint-or rather, since no two saints are alike-to show you a number of saints. In this book, you are shown forty saints.
Author Biography
Frank Sheed and his wife, Maisie Ward, founded the well-known London publishing house Sheed and Ward in 1926. Together they published some of the finest Catholic literature of the first half of the twentieth century. Known for his sharp mind and clarity of expression, Sheed became a famous Catholic apologist, writing several books including Theology and Sanity, A Map of Life, and To Know Christ Jesus.
