Reviews

[Mimi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'd read this before, but it was good to read in the mornings. These are meditations on the Old Testament saints - I believe they were originally in a weekly bulletin.

Very nice devotional style "chapters" on the saints from the Bible. The chapter on the man born blind was of particular interest to me, and I appreciated that the most.

Classic Reardon...excellent writing, very informative, and spiritually filling.

One of my favorites!! A good accompaniment to Scripture.

This is a wonderfully written book of short meditation on Saints found in the scriptures. Fr. Reardon writes with clarity and depth of knowledge on these saints from both the Old and New Testament. Well worth the read....hope you all enjoy.
