Partners in Holiness

Guardian Angels in the Lives of the Saints

By: Melaine Ryther

Narrated by: June Entwisle

Everyone has an angel story, or so it seems, but the Catholic Church has some pretty spectacular ones, especially those that are found in the lives and legends of the saints. Starting in earliest Christian times with Gregory the Great and finishing in the 20th century with one of the Church's newest saints, Padre Pio, Partners in Holiness: Guardian Angels in the Lives of the Saints tells the stories of nine men and women who grew in virtue and holiness with the assistance of their angels. Sometimes the help was sublime; sometimes it was stunning.

Written in a manner friendly to the young adult listener but easily enjoyed by all age groups, these accounts recreate the times and settings in which they occurred. But always at their core is the message that the friendship of an angel is not just for a canonized saint, but is a gift to each of us, saint or sinner.

Woven throughout the book are teachings and anecdotes about the angels from a Catholic perspective. For anyone interested in angelology, hagiography, history, theology, or just an inspiring listen, Partners in Holiness: Guardian Angels in the Lives of the Saints satisfies on many levels.

Great Book.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. Having read so much about the Angels &even studied Angelology, this book was a breath of fresh air. It is not so much about the Angels in general as it is about these Saints &their specific Guardian Angels. It is the happy medium between a book on the Saints&a book on the Angels. Well written too.

Great stories of the Guardian Angels

I thoroughly enjoyed these stories of the Guardian Angels and the prayers at the end of the book to help you grow closer to your own angel.
