DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the course of fifty years of pastoral ministry, thousands of people crossed the path of Dr. George Ault. Most of these were ordinary people he recognized as exuding special gifts of courage, faith, love, joy and hope. Dr. Ault thinks of these people as “everyday saints,” not because they were perfect, but because of their simple gifts and their willingness to share themselves with the world in which they lived. In a world that immerses us in the lives of the stars, George Ault celebrates the common person. These are men and women who will not make the headlines, but live their lives with quiet nobility. And in doing so, they become exceptional, leaving their mark for the rest of us to contemplate. Most of the everyday saints in this book are no longer with us. However, they are still vibrantly alive in Ault's memory. These everyday saints were his teachers in the trenches of life as he learned about loving and caring for others by their example. How he developed and grew was as a direct result of these kinds of amazing people who crossed his path. Sharing in the lives of these everyday saints and experiencing what they demonstrated with their lives was a blessing for Ault. These everyday saints continue to bless all who peer over the pages of this book. Even a small glimpse of these everyday saints will cause anyone to marvel and believe in the potential to become a better person. Look around. Everyday saints are everywhere.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIncluding interviews with dozens of parishioners, this story of the battle for St. Brigid is “a dramatic David vs. Goliath account of a church under siege” (Kirkus Reviews). St. Brigid Church was one of San Francisco’s great landmarks in the early 1990s. The church itself had weathered depressions and natural disasters, epic earthquakes and a massive fire. Its loyal congregation was active, vibrant, and growing. But in 1993, without warning, the Catholic archdiocese mysteriously ordered its doors to be closed. The Grace of Everyday Saints is the story of how a ragtag group of believers came together in a crusade to save their church. What they discovered would be devastating: that around the country, parishes like theirs were threatened by the higher echelons of the Church, all to hide a terrible secret. Soon there were near-daily headlines that shocked the world. But still this unlikely group of heroes—led by a renegade lawyer, a reformed Catholic, and an antiestablishment priest—continued to meet weekly, to fight, to prove that their beloved St. Brigid was worth saving. A dramatic narrative that takes readers from the streets of San Francisco to the halls of the Vatican, The Grace of Everyday Saints is about injustice and betrayal, redemption and grace. “A gripping story.” —Publishers Weekly
