In his modern classic memoir, Martin introduces us to saints throughout history--from St. Peter to Dorothy Day, St. Francis of Assisi to Mother Teresa--and chronicles his lifelong friendships with them. Filled with fascinating tales, Martin's funny, vibrant, and stirring book invites readers to discover how saints guide us throughout our earthly journeys and how they help each of us find holiness in our own lives. \u003cbr\u003e Featuring a new chapter from Martin, this tenth-anniversary edition of the best-selling memoir updates readers about his life over the past ten years.
