The well-known Catholic convert and apologist Ronald Knox was highly esteemed for both his gift for writing and preaching. This volume combines both skills as it is a collection of his homilies on his favorite saints, men and women of history who were "inflamed with the love of Christ."
In his always descriptive, profound and witty style, Knox shows how these heroes of history struggled with many of the same spiritual battles that modern believers encounter daily, and overcame them with faith, courage, character and virtue. These are the shining witnesses of the truth and charity we all seek to grasp and emulate.
In his vivid style, Ronald Knox tells the stories of a variety of these Christian stalwarts including St. Cecilia, St. George, St. Dominic, St. Albert the Great, St. Thomas More, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Philip Neri, St. Anselm, St. Joan of Arc, and many more.

reviewed Captive Flames: On Selected Saints and Christian Heroes on September 20, 2018 Captive Flames
This is a collection of homilies given by Father Ronald Knox in different locations as the need arose, but always for the feast day of a saint. They are short, pithy, and made me wish I could have enjoyed his homilies in person. I read one a day as a bit of a devotional.
The most enjoyable quality was also the most unexpected. Knox had the gift of coming at his saintly topics from a variety of unusual angles. Much like G.K. Chesterton, the subject of the last chapter, Knox often stood things on their heads so we could feel just how unusual a saint (or hero) was and how they related to everyday life or other parts of history. His insights were sometimes revelatory.
Highly recommended.
