Book of the Week

One of the best parts about reading Church History is meeting new saints (and rediscovering old ones). Therefore, this week’s recommended book is by Father Jim Martin, S.J., My Life With the Saints. Loyola Press writes: “This best-selling memoir of spiritual self-discovery is an homage to the Catholic saints who have accompanied Fr. Martin throughout his life. From a lukewarm childhood Catholicism, to the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to the Jesuits, to a media career in Manhattan, Martin has relied on the Catholic saints to intervene in and guide his life. As Martin shares with us his many surprising encounters and journeys with the saints, he convincingly shows how we, too, can be close friends with the saints of the Catholic Church.”
