"The way of Jesus Christ is a journey of personal transformation in which the saints are our unseen companions on the road. Their writings and sayings constitute a treasury of wisdom that is sadly often neglected. In this illuminating series of reflections, Jill Duff and Nicholas Heale share the insights they have gleaned from engagement with these heroes of the faith and make their wisdom more accessible. As the authors reveal, the saints have profound things to teach us about being a Christian in the world today."
