Quotable Saints

by Ronda Chervin

Ronda De Sola Chervin's Quotable Saints is a handy compilation of the wisdom of the ages distilled from the daily struggles of the lives of the saints. Readers will enjoy the easily accessible chapters that bring them along the path of insight from despair to hope, disorder to self-control, mediocrity to zeal, and sadness to joy. Why read this book? Because, in the words of St. Abba Dorotheus, No men are more unfortunate or nearer perdition than those who have no teachers on the way to God.
