The Life of Little Saint Placid


Book Description

"The Life of Little Saint Placid" is an exquisite picture treatise on prayer. Tiny as it is, this book is rich in doctrine in the same way as are the windows of French cathedrals. ... As did Little Placid, Mother Genevieve lives at a turning-point in history, in one of those periods in which more than ever it is necessary to hold to the essence of the monastic life.

The Saints' Guide to Happiness


Book Description

“What is happiness and how can I find it?” may be one of the most frequently asked questions there is. Perhaps that’s because it is so hard to experience lasting happiness. In The Saints’ Guide to Happiness, Robert Ellsberg suggests that some of the best people to show us are holy men and women throughout history—from St. Augustine to Flannery O’Connor, Thomas Merton to St. Theresa of Avila and Mother Theresa. These people weren’t saints because of the way they died or their visions or wondrous deeds. They were saints because of their extraordinary capacity for goodness and love, which—in the end—makes us happy.
