Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Portraits of Saints Who Are Open to Change
"Saints in Love" is among today's fast-growing library of Christian self-help books. What distinguishes it is the freshness of language and insights that link the experiences of well-known saints to our own.

Hallundbaek takes as her templates four famous pairs, linked forever by their work and by their correspondence. They include Clare and Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena and Pope Gregory XI, Francis De Sales and Jane De Chantal.

In each case, as Hallundbaek observes of Clare and Francis, "Much of their passion, perseverance and success would come from this central point of enclosure, of being turned to each other, forsaking all others, all earthly options, all worldly distractions, both wills rooted in the love and service of God."

From the lives of people who have established or revived great religious orders and shared insights ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Interesting concept; poor execution
The first chapter is a bit gushy in describing the relationship between Francis of Assissi and Clare. The relationships between the remaining pairs of saints are described less breathlessly; in fact, by today's standards, they seem to reflect the typical corporate relationship between teammates, regardless of gender. Most annoying in the final chapter is the poor editing, in which quotes are attributed to Francis of Assissi instead of Francis de Sales -- despite the fact that Francis of Assissi had been dead for 500 years by this point.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Beautiful Book
In "Saints in Love: The Forgotten Loves Between Holy Women and Men and How They Can Make Our Relationships Divine," Carole Hallundbaek explores the powerful life-changing friendships that existed between four pairs of saints: Clare and Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena and Pope Gregory XI, and Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal. "These relationships often shed light on marriage, work, family, healthy attachments, emotional healing, and more. . . Their discoveries offer valuable lessons for our relationships today - at home, at work, in community, and with God." It is interesting that she chose male-female pairs. She illustrates that contrary to popular wisdom, men and women can be friends without a physical sexual relationship although sexual complementarity certainly does play a role in the relationships.

Hallundbaek begins each chapter with a short biography ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Provocative Look at the Saints' Relationships
The greatest thing about SAINTS IN LOVE, in addition to how beautifully it's written, is how it connects the real, historic lives of the saints to our own today. Author Carole Hallundbaek takes these rugged old saints from the shelf, dusts them off, and presents to us their very human personalities and their very human relationships. We get to see how these great spiritual guides recognize and triumph over relationship issues we know so well today - codependency, healthy and unhealthy attachments, family conflicts, tension with colleagues at the office, the quest for intimacy, even recovery spirituality - to fulfill their destiny, and with each other's help. SAINTS IN LOVE provides a rare and remarkable window onto the process of spiritual and emotional growth, as well as sound theology, humor, contemporary setting and culture, and the poetry of John Paul II. A joy to read, and an essential guide to relationships.
