"I can’t think of a more useful or
inspiring way to encounter the richness of Catholic
spirituality than through these surprisingly personal
essays by writers better known for the depth and reach of
their fiction than for the intensity of their sacramental
life."—C. Michael Curtis, senior editor of the Atlantic
Monthly.
"This rich, moving, varied, refreshingly
unpretentious book not only profoundly explores the living
significance of the sacraments of the Church but offers us
luminous, direct help in the essential spiritual work,
that of sacralizing the whole life."—Andrew Harvey,
author of Son of Man and The Direct Path.
"Fresh insights into these ancient mysteries. What
the reader comes away with is a sense of the embarrassment
of graces that are present in the seven sacraments—and
the sacrament of life itself."—Paul Wilkes, author
of Beyond the Walls: Monastic Wisdom for Everyday Life.
"To Signatures of Grace, Thomas Grady and
Paula Huston have brought their Catholic souls, their fine
eyes, and their deep love for the written word. It is a
testament to the blessings of the sacraments in their own
lives and vision."—Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author
of Women Who Run with the Wolves.
"All essays in this book are lively, written with
a poetic spirit and an intelligence that has no belief in
‘blind faith’ . . . Readers, Catholic and otherwise,
will find in this compact volume delightful, sometimes
startlingly delightful, investigations of the seven
sacraments of the Catholic Church."—the Spokesman
Review (Spokane, Washington).
"These ‘Signatures’ can supply a living,
breathing grasp of sacrament that formulas cannot
convey."—the Sunday Star-Ledger (Newark, New Jersey)
"Evocative, emotional recollections enrich this
tiny volume of gutsy essays."—The News and
Observer (Raleigh, North Carolina)
"The sacraments are dusted off and repolished to a
gleam in Signatures of Grace."—The Times
Union (Albany, New York)
"A fine book, and in so many ways, instructive. Signatures
of Grace has given beautiful new meaning, for me, to
the words ‘He restoreth my soul.’"—Carol Lee
Flinders, author of Enduring Grace.
"Excellent reading."—Today’s Catholic.
