Weekly Anglican prayer bead meditations to deepen your relationship with saintly Christians.

"In a time when we are increasingly bombarded by noise and disconnected from one another, this wonderfully practical book provides a loving, liberating, and life-giving way to enhance our personal prayer life, grounded in the wisdom of old friends and new across the Jesus Movement."--Bishop Michael Curry, renowned preacher and author of Love is the Way and Songs My Grandma Sang

Have you ever wondered what the saints would say if they could speak to you? Saints have long been a source of inspiration and solace for Christians--from Ambrose of Milan of the early Church, to Hildegard of Bingen of the medieval period, to Frederick Douglass of nineteenth-century abolitionist renown--but few would say they truly know these sources of timeless wisdom. The prayers in Song of the Saints, intended for use in conjunction with Anglican prayer beads, offer a remedy: a tried and tested prayer practice designed to bring readers into a deeper communion with the saints throughout the liturgical year.

Selected from various Christian liturgical calendars, the featured saints are accompanied by an icon-like image, an original prayer, and a brief spiritual biography, which offers readers a window into the context in which the saint lived. Ultimately, readers aren't just learning about the saints--they're engaging with them, actively exploring their lives, their teachings, and most of all, their heart.
