Book Reviews of Saints in Love: The Forgotten Loves Between Holy Women and Men and How They Can Make Our Relationships Divine
Book Review: Portraits of Saints Who Are Open to Change
Summary: 5 Stars
"Saints in Love" is among today's fast-growing library of Christian self-help books. What distinguishes it is the freshness of language and insights that link the experiences of well-known saints to our own.
Hallundbaek takes as her templates four famous pairs, linked forever by their work and by their correspondence. They include Clare and Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena and Pope Gregory XI, Francis De Sales and Jane De Chantal.
In each case, as Hallundbaek observes of Clare and Francis, "Much of their passion, perseverance and success would come from this central point of enclosure, of being turned to each other, forsaking all others, all earthly options, all worldly distractions, both wills rooted in the love and service of God."
From the lives of people who have established or revived great religious orders and shared insights into faith that have stood the test of centuries, Hallundbaek distills guidance that makes a virtue of diversity and finds strength in differences. It is an approach with particular relevance in our own time.
Hallundbaek presents portraits of saints who are open to change - in the accepted social structure of their day and in their conception of God, which they encourage to evolve throughout their lives.
The result is a dynamic existence where religious faith and daily life interact in exciting ways - both for saints and those who seek to learn from them.
Summary of Saints in Love: The Forgotten Loves Between Holy Women and Men and How They Can Make Our Relationships Divine
Award-winning author and theologian Carole Hallundbaek unearths the intimate, real-life relationships between some of Christianity's most beloved male and female saints and distills "a vibrant, beautiful, and utterly useful guide for our own relationships today." Journey from medieval Italy to modern day Trump Tower and explore with new relevance the relationships between Francis and Clare of Assisi, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena and Pope Gregory XI, and Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal. Discover, as they did, essential spiritual keys to better relationships - in love and marriage, at work, with neighbors, in community, and with God. Illustrated, with the poetry of young Karol Wojtyla before he became Pope John Paul II.Religious Books
