SECRETS OF THE SAINTS by Henri Gheon

SECRETS OF THE SAINTS

By

Publisher: Sheed & Ward

This book sets a high standard for modern hagiography. It is a dramatic presentation (by a very distinguished French dramatist) of the lives of four great servants of the Church, Margaret Mary of the Sacred Heart; Therese, the Little Flower; Don Bosco, Educator Saint; and the Cure d'Ars, Saint of the human comedy. It is a far cry from the old method of cataloguing virtues, trials, visions, sacrifices, agonies and final joy to this vital presentation of the way these four human saints worked out their individual and exciting way to glory.
