Love Like A Saint
Cultivating Virtue with Holy Women
It's not just a book, it's a workbook. Each chapter in Love Like a Saint, includes prayer assignments and questions for journaling or small group discussion. The women you will meet in these pages have cultivated virtue as students, wives, employees, friends, mothers, and will become true companions on your faith journey. Designed and written to be read in Adoration, as a study, or in prayer and meditation either alone or in a small group.
“It can be risky to read the lives of saints if we do it with the intention of imitating them in every detail. What the life of a saint can inspire in us is the will to live in the same total obedience and surrender, in the same openness to the Spirit’s constantly new impulses. It is fascinating to see what God can do with a person who is willing to follow the Lamb wherever he goes (Rev 14:4). But it is good to know that the Lamb is totally “unpredictable” and that there is a new, surprising path for each person.”
—Wilfred Stinessen, cited in Love Like a Saint
What Readers and Critics are Saying About Jesus Approaches
“Poignant and Powerful. A gem.”
A Must for Every Christian Woman
"Simply beautiful, and a must for every Christian woman. I devoured this book immediately and I can’t wait to go back through it slowly, chew on it, use it as a devotional tool, and meditate on the prayers and verses at each chapter’s end.”
~ Evangeline W., New York, New York
Speaking to Me Personally
“Jesus Approaches caught me by surprise. . . . Wow. This book has helped ignite my prayer life at a time when I didn’t even realize the flame was low. It breathed fresh life into Gospel stories I thought I knew inside and out. Moreover, it brought these stories into my life, speaking to me personally in ways I’ve seldom experienced.”
~ Elizabeth E.
Deep Encounters with Jesus
“I had big hopes when I picked up this book and I wasn't disappointed! I felt like I made wonderful new friends in both the author and in the women of the Bible to whom she introduced to me. Most importantly, her reflections and invitation to have my own, led me to deep encounters with Jesus that were very special to my heart.”
~ Amazon reviewer, Kindle edition

She tailored our retreat experience and made it special and fruitful...Each of Liz’s talks spoke to the heart. Her gentle spirit and beautiful heart shown through every word she shared with us.
