St. Anthony: Words of Fire, Life of LightSt. Anthony of Padua and Lisbon, one of Christianity's best loved saints, is a man of many titles: glory of the Franciscan order, star of sanctity, hammer of heretics, comforter of the afflicted, counselor of the erring, miracle worker. Who is the person behind the praise? How did the people of his time view the saint? St. Anthony: Words of Fire, Life of Light is a novelized biography of the life and times of St. Anthony. Madeline Pecora Nugent, SFO, makes an imaginative journey into the lives and souls of some of the many people who lived with, confided in, heeded, or defied the saint. In meeting those whose lives St. Anthony touched, the reader will come to understand and love the saint. Book jacket. |
