Résumé
Not every saint is famous. Not every story is told. But every holy life leaves a light behind. In Walking With Saints: 50 Lesser-Known Holy Lives, Ruth James invites readers into the quiet but radiant paths of men and women who shaped the faith not through worldly fame, but through steadfast devotion. These are not the saints most people know-no Francis, no Patrick, no Augustine. Instead, here are the farmers and mystics, queens and hermits, missionaries and martyrs who walked obscure roads and yet carried Christ brightly into their time.
You will meet: St. Melania the Younger, who gave away an empire's fortune to embrace poverty and prayer. St. Christina the Astonishing, whose strange ecstasies defied every expectation of holiness. St. Mennas of Egypt, a soldier turned desert hermit, martyred for refusing idols. St. Etheldreda of Ely, an Anglo-Saxon princess who chose the abbey over the throne. And forty-six more remarkable lives, each offering courage, mystery, and inspiration.
With a voice both vivid and reverent, Ruth James writes in a narrative style that reads less like a textbook and more like walking side by side with these saints. Each chapter unfolds their humanity-their doubts, trials, and sacrifices-before revealing the legacy of grace that still speaks today. This is not a collection of dusty legends, but a living treasury of faith. Whether it is a cloistered nun who discovered the Sacred Heart centuries before devotion spread, or a gardener who welcomed strangers and died a martyr, these stories remind us that holiness blooms everywhere-in kitchens and fields, deserts and battlefields, prisons and palaces.
