description: While studying in Europe several years ago, A'Dora Phillips encountered a vision of St. Margaret in a painting by Titian. What unfolded from that experience was a life-changing immersion in the lives of the saints and the spirituality of those who believe in them. In this compelling book, the author shares the wisdom and guidance that she discovered. Mortal Saints and Immortal Callings explores the lives of eighteen people who struggled to live out the fullness of their vocation, people now known to history as "saints." Each chapter develops a particular theme that offers insights into our own everyday lives: &amp;; Courage and will (St. Joan of Arc and St. Margaret of Antioch)&amp;; Loneliness and perceived failure (Charles Foucauld)&amp;; Grace (St. Bernadette Soubirous and St. Edith Stein)&amp;; Finding one's true center (St. Teresa of Avila)&amp;; Devotion (Fra Angelico) and many more.
