Our Church Speaks An Illustrated Devotional of Saints from Every Era and Place
Ben Lansing, D. J. Marotta
Out of thousands of possible choices, the authors have selected fifty-two saints as the basis for this devotional: preachers, teachers, doctors, miracle-workers, mystics, and martyrs. Mostly male. Ben Lansing’s cartoonish portraits accompany each entry. The biographical sections are only a page or so long, so complicated lives are reduced to three or four paragraphs. Each entry includes Christian scripture, a theme to focus on, and a prayer. Writer D. J. Marotta is a priest in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), so don’t expect inclusive theology. Doubtless some readers will make meaningful connections with this material, and may use it as a stepping stone to learn more about each of these historical figures.
