520 |a Near the heart of the world's great religions stand saints - transcendently holy men and women whose "otherness" serves as an example of God's grace to ordinary believers everywhere. As miracle workers, healers, and teachers, saints are the most tangible manifestation of God's loving power. They are deeply mysterious as well, for they are both wholly human and have privileged contact with the divine. Lavishly illustrated, here is a glorious, multicultural tribute to the God-filled men and women who keep the flame of faith alive among us. Like the saints themselves, Saints: The Chosen Few reminds us that life is wider, deeper, and more mysterious than it often appears in the light of our small, everyday struggles.
