About this deal

Butler's daily readings from the lives and works of the saints offer readers of all backgrounds the opportunity to engage directly with these great figures. It is on this account we have ventured to designate The Lives of the Saints an historical supplement to the Old and New Testaments. The book, first published in the nineteenth century, also serves as a valuable introduction the early history of the Catholic Church and the fundamental (and sacrificial) roles some of the founders of the church played to ensure the continuation and development of the Church into modern times. There's no way that reading this book and making it an accompaniment to your life will not help you.

I highly recommend using Lives of the Saints as part of a daily regimen to deepen one's faith by way of being introduced to inspiring examples of faith.Paul Burns is the general editor of the Butler’s Lives of the Saints series and The Butler’s Lives of the Saints: New Concise Edition , published by Liturgical Press. I was taken by one story; the story of Alban; a man who came to know Christ by the praises of a fugitive; a story that made the words of 2 Samuel 22:50 come to life proving yet again the power of Gods word!

Attwater was married to Rachel Attwater of South Wales, a fellow historian and published author on Catholic saints in the Orient. Arranged day by day, with cross-indexing for easy reference, the text corresponds to the months of the year and contains entries on saints with feast days in that month. Families and individuals will find it serves as a source of devotions and adds to their spirituality and prayer life.Also included in the daily readings are more obscure saints whose lives and contributions to Christianity should not be forgotten. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A very eye appealing set of four hardcovers books with a very thorough collection of the saints biographies. He also prepared material for Richard Challoner’s Memoirs of Missionary Priests, a work on the martyrs of the reign of Elizabeth.

The book is a great stalwart teacher in aid to becoming more and more what the Lord sees capable in us and of us. Often abused to the point of death the were thrown back into the prison and then given the same treatment again often ending their life by execution. Butler's Lives of the Saints includes information on a variety of men and women who lived the gospel-from the first to the twentieth century-from such diverse areas as Western and Eastern Europe, and the Near East. After twenty years of existence, we are happy, by the grace of God, to have completed two large buildings and a sizable portion of our abbatial church.There is certainly a heavy emphasis on Western European saints, and especially those with some connection to the Anglophone world. Ulf and Birgitta Ekman With his wife, Birgitta, Ulf Ekman founded Word of Life, a large Pentecostal church, so the news of their leaving Word of Life Church to become Catholics was a bombshell in Sweden. Alban Butler was born in 1710, at Appletree, Aston le Walls, Northamptonshire, the second son of Simon Butler, Esq. Two major changes mark this revision: First, it has been updated in accordance with the revised Roman Martyrology of the Congregation for Divine Worship in Rome. For one thing, this work does not treat of any saint who was beatified or canonized since the early 19th Century.

Throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s he was a frequent contributor to the Catholic press in both Britain and America and a prolific author, translator and editor of books on Christian themes. After the war he lived for a time on Caldey Island and was profoundly influenced by the monks of Caldey Abbey.

We think this work deserves to be so considered, on account of the close resemblance it bears to the historical portions of holy writ.
