    Angels and Saints and the Rest of Us

    About this ebook

    G.K. Chesterton once said, "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly." Taking that notion to heart, this collection of short articles and essays seeks to inform, inspire, but also at times amuse.

    Topics range from the light-hearted (coffee and baseball) to the heart-wrenching (St. Edith Stein and St. Gianna Beretta Molla). And then, of course, there are the angels: Archangels, guardian angels, angels in disguise, and angels loud and proud. They are the glue that holds this book of seemingly disparate topics together, reminding us on each page they appear that they are our friends, our protectors, our teachers, and our guides.

    Based on the blog of the same name, Angels and Saints and the Rest of Us roughly follows a year's worth of Church celebrations with teachings from the saints, actions from the angels, and a few personal anecdotes from the author. All in all, an enjoyable reading experience that even an angel would approve of.
