Saintly Women of Modern Times by Joan Carroll Cruz - Catholic Book, 260pp.
260 pages
Each story is different. Each ending is the same.
Single, married, widowed, separated, abandoned, divorced... Childless, an unwed mother, a parent of many children, a stepmother... Born into high society, a member of the middle class, destitute... From Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, the Americas.
None of the accounts in Saintly Women of Modern Times is a fairy tale, but each woman ended up finding a Prince who loved her completely, a Prince who had been calling to her even as she had been searching for Him.
Each of these twentieth-century laywomen fell deeply in love with Christ, the Prince of Peace, and that made all the difference in the world - a difference in this world, and the next.
Here are the women who prove that - no matter the circumstances - a life of heroic virtue is possible. A life that centers on Our Lord and His Blessed Mother, a life of sanctity and of service to others.
Joan Carrol Cruz is the author of the best seller Relics, The Incorruptibles, and Secular Saints.
Also available: SAINTLY MEN OF MODERN TIMES (300 pp.) and SAINTLY YOUTH OF MODERN TIMES (222 pp.) at the same price (14.95 each).
