I intend to reread this book regularly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saint Making Stuff! *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2010* At the end of the Jubilee Year 2000, which ushered in a new Millennium, Ralph Martin responded to a call by Pope John Paul II, in his writing of "Novo Millennio Ineunte," to reconnect the whole Church with the mystical tradition of its Doctors. The Pope mentioned four specifically: St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. These were some of the saints Ralph Martin had been teaching for years. My first contact with the work of Ralph Martin was in listening to a series of talks that he developed and presented in Ann Arbor, MI. They are as follows, and in the order I obtained and listed to them: Called to Holiness-Called to Mission: The Vision of John Paul II,  Union with God : Learning from St. Teresa of Avila,  Transformation in Christ : The Wisdom of St. John of the Cross,  Surrendered to Love: The Wisdom of Therese of Lisieux , St. Catherine of Siena: Growing in Love , Holiness in Everyday Life : The Wisdom of Francis De Sales, and  Bernard Lives: The Journey to God with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux . I have listened to these more than once. They are nothing less than a remarkable series of presentations on these saints, their teachings and their desire to instruct us and lead us to holiness. They are available through his organization: Renewal Ministries. In this book, seemingly published sometime after I had finished listening to the talks, I recognize so many of the traces of these talks, the research and the quotes from these Doctor/Saints. The book is arranged quite differently, however. Ralph begins again with the "Call to Holiness," but then branches off into the three traditional stages of the Spiritual Life: the Purgative, the Illuminative, and the Unitive. Each of these is subdivided, treating different aspects of each stage, like prayer, obstacles and effects, individually. He then brings in the particular saints mentioned above, adding St. Augustine too, to treat various subjects. In doing so, he effectively treats the total transformation one would/could expect possible in the entire Spiritual Life, according to the wisdom of these saints, and backed by their own personal experiences and writings. This is the journey a person would travel from Conversion up to and including the Transforming Union, the summit one can reach here on earth. In his work, "The Spiritual Combat," Father Lawrence Scupoli begins the first paragraph of Chapter 1 with: "CHRISTIAN SOUL! If you seek to reach the loftiest peak of perfection, and to unite yourself so intimately with God that you become one with spirit with Him, you must first know the true nature and perfection of spirituality in order to succeed in the most sublime undertaking that can be experienced or imagined." Recall also, Jesus advises us, if "wishing to construct a tower [to] first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion" (Lk 14:28). So it is with the Spiritual Life. To embark on this we must: know the goal; know what it promises; know what it takes to accomplish it; know the downside, pitfalls and obstacles; know the resources and tools that are available; and know the practices which have led to the success of others--and why go to anyone else but the saints for this. They have been to the summit. They know how to get there. Ralph Martin has given us an excellent blueprint for those who want to take the Spiritual Life seriously. These saints have followed the gospel to a heroic degree and can teach us to do the same.
