A Saint on Every Corner: Glimpses of Holiness Beyond the Monastery

by Albert Holtz

A Benedictine monk for thirty years, Fr. Albert Holtz left his community for a sabbatical year of travel. From the Swiss Alps to Brazil to Hungary, he used an artist's eye, a writer's flair, and a monk's soul to discover holiness outside the monastery.

[C.J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pleasant series of sketches, part-travelogue, part thumbnail meditation(s). Perhaps the highlight are character sketches, and bouts of near-silence when the author allows the reader look through his eyes at a landscape or cityscape.

[Seán · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very pleasant, light read, which really demonstrates the ordinary holiness in everyday people, helping us to see that we're all called to it. Father Holtz's writing is very personable and very relatable, and the reader is brought along on his travels.
