The Heart of a Saint: Ten Ways to Grow Closer to God

by Bert Ghezzi

God offers every human being the gift of himself, promising to
come and make his home in the hearts of all who love and obey him. Saints
respond to this gift by giving their hearts wholeheartedly to God. In
The Heart of a Saint, best-selling Catholic author Bert Ghezzi
portrays ten heroes of the faith whose lives demonstrate how we can grow
closer to God as we give our hearts to him. From Thérèse of Lisieux and
Francis of Assisi to Dorothy Day and Pope John Paul II, the author paints a
portrait of men and women taking on the heart of God in prayer, service,
justice, and love of neighbor. Each chapter ends with suggestions for
reflection, prayer, and action for growing in the particular spiritual
quality exhibited by each saint. Ghezzi's engaging style as he tells these
stories is both refreshing and inspirational.
