In?????¡\u003cem\u003eHow Saints Die\u003c\/em\u003e, Sicari turns to the most difficult challenge in the life of a Christian: the hour of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat he uncovers in this darkest moment, however, is not desolation, but inexplicable joy. \"I have recounted the death of many saints,\" he writes, \"but all of them have confirmed for me the truth of this ancient Christian intuition: in the death of a saint, it is death that dies!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith in-depth research and a flair for storytelling, Sicari brings before our eyes the gracious last hours of one hundred men and women???????lovers and martyrs, thinkers and workers, ancients and moderns, old men and teens. Included are Kateri Tekakwitha, Maximilian Kolbe, Mother Teresa, Thomas Aquinas, Josephine Bakhita, J??r??me Lejeune, Clare of Assisi, and many more. In each, a new shade of the divine light shines through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose seeking insight into the mystery of death and suffering will find in this book not only wisdom, but rich and realistic consolation. Divided into brief, readable chapters organized by theme, the collection offers at every bend another fine-grained snapshot of a Christian fully alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ignatius Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47617903657049,"sku":"srk1793047603946","price":11.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/3443\/8489\/files\/how-saints-die-100-stories-of-hope_1.jpg?v=1793047609","url":"https:\/\/moonwalkfit.shop\/products\/how-saints-die-100-stories-of-hope","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
