Celebrating the Saints: Devotional Readings for Saints' Days
This new collection on the subject of the saints is the latest  in a very considerable outpouring of publications on holy men  and women. Compilers Robert Atwell and Christopher Webber's  assemblage is distinguished from many others by its breadth,  generosity of range, and literacy, not least the attention it  gives to the eloquence of the saints themselves. So, this  devotional includes not only the usual procession of medieval  bishops but South African evangelists, Methodist hymnodists, and  Catholic educators, complete with often fascinating, and  revelatory, quotations from the saints and their admirers.
