Marriage As a Path to Holiness: Lives of Married Saints

Marriage As a Path to Holiness: Lives of Married Saints is a very interesting book taking a closer look at saints that lived a married life.

Here is an excerpt from the foreword by Bishop Kallistos Ware

Drawing on that rich but often neglected source the Lives of the Saints this book provides us with a representative selection of models of icons in words to encourage us on our own journey to the kingdom whether we are married or not. . . . What is striking first of all about the examples chosen is their diversity. They are spread in time across nearly four thousand years from the Old Testament era up to our own day. In space they extend no less widely: from Persia in the east to Alaska in the west from Egypt in the south to England in the north. . . . In each case the story has been told in a simple but vivid style with frequent quotations from the original sources and from the liturgical texts. . . . And whether we are married monastics or single as we look at the living icons of the Holy Trinity on the pages that follow May we all of us be brought to a deeper appreciation of this great mystery (Ephesians 5:3). ̵;

From the Foreword by Bishop KALLISTOS (Timothy) Ware author of The Orthodox Church and The Orthodox Way.
