Patron saints for postmoderns : 10 from the past who speak to our future / Chris R. Armstrong.
A professor of church history, Armstrong provides rich portraits of ten people from the past who: translated the gospel for their own times; broke down barriers; ministered out of the brokenness we all share; knew what it feels like to live on the margins; believed in the power of stories to bring transformation through Christ.--From publisher description
