A living Gospel : reading God's story in holy lives

In his latest work, Robert Ellsberg, author of many acclaimed works on the saints, looks on the "living gospel" that is written in human lives. From biographical reflections on traditional saints and spiritual masters (including Dorothy Day, Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Flannery O'Connor, and Oscar Romero), he reflects on what it means to read the spiritual text that is written in such lives. From that, we learn to read our own lives in the same light.
