Â
WITTY, WRYLY HONEST, AND ALWAYS ORIGINAL, My Life withÂ the Saints is James Martinâ‚¬s story of how his life has been shaped by some surprising friendsâ‚¬"the saints of the Catholic Church. In his modern classic memoir, Martin introduces us to saints throughout historyâ‚¬"from St. Peter to Dorothy Day, St. Francis of Assisi to Mother Teresaâ‚¬"and chronicles his lifelong friendships with them. Filled with fascinating tales, Martinâ‚¬s funny, vibrant, and stirring book invites readers to discover how saints guide us throughout our earthly journeys and how they help each of us find holiness in our own lives.

Featuring a new chapter from Martin, this tenth-anniversary edition of the best-selling memoir updates readers about his life over the past ten years. In that time, he has been a New York Times best-selling author, official chaplain of TheÂ Colbert Report, and a welcome presence in the media whenever thereâ‚¬s a breaking Catholic news story. But he has always remained recognizably himself. John L. Allen, Jr., the acclaimed Catholic journalist, contributes a foreword that shows how Martin has become one of the wisest and most insightful voices of this era.
