Book Description John Dear is a prophet of peace in an often violent world. His friend Bill McNichols is a prophet of beauty in a world that often overlooks the beautiful and the good. Together they have created a stunning book that reveals the saints as living meditations on peace, beauty, and goodness.–James Martin, S.J., author of My Life with the Saints
The holy witnesses whose stories and images are presented here take a stand in the court of life to speak the truth of God. From famous and lesser-known saints to prophets and peacemakers from our own time, these images open a doorway to the sacred. Their stories call us to witness God's compassionate love.
