Review: Powerful book with achievable goals - This is a wonderful book for those seeking to better understand the inner workings of a saintly life, and is not limited to social justice. It is well written, yet easy to read. The book is broken into seven sections related to aspects of social justice, and within each section, two saints are discussed. However, what I found most enlightening or helpful about this book is the way that it allows the reader to understand that all of us can be a "saint" in our own way. Often books of the lives of saints leave me feeling that I should not complain about my life because "they" had it so much worse. What I really enjoyed about this book is how it humanized the saints, and led me to understand that their actions could be duplicated by us all. For example, in the chapter about Saint Damien of Molokia, the author writes "One final lesson is how Damien showed solidarity with his leper friends by treating them with honor . . .we should show the same kind of solidarity with our marginalized friends, involving them in service with us. . .this ensures that solidarity does not devolve into patronizing". What a powerful statement! I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Review: An Excellent Read! - Brandon Vogt is a gifted writer whose accounts of these Catholic heroes illustrates God's great love for His creation as lived by this diverse group. Here is St. Benedict -- the giant of Western Monasticism -- and here is Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, the diminutive Albanian nun whose life of great love and sacrifice distilled all of the gospels down to five words: "You did it for Me." From the left-leaning Dorothy Day to the architect of Communism's collapse, St. John Paul II, Vogt ably exposes the truth that runs through all these stories: Jesus's love for humanity thrives in His Church, its sacraments, and in the actions of the faithful who make that love real in the lives of others. Some of Vogt's saints are well known while others you may meet for the first time in his pages. One thing is certain, this book will leave you wanting to know more Catholic social teaching (Vogt accommodates with a helpful list of suggested readings), and more about other saints. Here's hoping a follow-up volume is in Vogt's -- and our -- future.

*by A***L on August 12, 2014*

A enjoyable read because there are so many stories of real people meeting real needs. Enjoyable because it encourages the reader to reach beyond their limits and become the face of God to others. Enjoyable because we all need encouragement from the body of Christ, the Church, to do what we already know our hearts long to do for others as gift. It is as gift we receive. "It is in giving that you receive." Jesus as quoted by St. Paul.
