Description
A poignant and powerful spiritual memoir about how the lives of the saints changed the life of a modern woman.
In My Sisters the Saints, author Colleen Carroll Campbell blends her personal narrative of spiritual seeking, trials, stumbles, and breakthroughs with the stories of six women saints who profoundly changed her life: Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux, Faustina of Poland, Edith Stein of Germany, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and Mary of Nazareth. Drawing upon the rich writings and examples of these extraordinary women, the author reveals Christianity's liberating power for women and the relevance of the saints to the lives of contemporary Christians.

My Sisters the Saints
5By RickybobbystompI read this book in 2 days, I couldn't put it down. I find it fascinating that my journey from a young women, leading into career, marriage and motherhood is nearly opposite to the author yet, I too have found each of the Saints and their messages along the way. The messages of the Saints place us in the loving arms of Christ regardless of our story. Thank you for sharing yours, I have an enhanced compassion for my fellow sisters who have a different walk than my own and a renewed unity of love for all through Christ our Lord.

5By Colleen CoyleI loved this book. We all go through our joys and our sorrows.It is so good to know we are not alone. Once we realize that God is guiding us and His saints are there to help us, the journey becomes more of a joint effort and shows us we are never alone. Never. We are here to help each other, a true communion of Saints. God bless you and your family and Mary keep you. ColleenThe Joy of True Femininity
5By The AlexandrianWhat Colleen Carroll Campbell offers here is both a vision of the new evangelization and a defense of natural law to a world starving for both; a world unaware however of what is causing its emaciated state. Joy and satisfaction come from living as we are called to live, as woman, as man; as adult, as child; as sister, as brother. I stand as immensely grateful for Ms. Campbell's revelation, contained here, of the process by which God led her to bliss and mirth as mother.
