A Passion For Life: Fragments of the Face of God

In A Passion for Life the icons are male and female, Christian and non-Christian, married, and single, religious and lay, from different times and diverse cultures. They are activists and mystics, their holiness recognized by due process, or acclaimed by those who lived in the shadow of their lives. Like us, they are not without flaws, but so luminous in their virtues as to be a light for the ages.

Chittister presents some of these men and women to us, reveals their special gifts, encourages us to identify with them, and to follow their example.
