"Growing up in rural Kentucky, I learned quickly that life on a farm is always full of adventure, surprises, challenges, and, most of all, blessings. This delightful book helps to connect us with so many saints who remind us that God is with us in each and every one of those moments."—Most Reverend J. Mark Spalding, Bishop of Nashville
"In this fine collection of over two hundred saints, we see regular people like you and me, who lived out their love for Christ on farms or in rural settings, performing hard manual labor and making the sacrifices that have made our present lives of ease possible. In reading about their struggles and asking for their help, we ought to grow in gratitude for the many blessings we have received and too often take for granted. With its fascinating saintly stories and many prayers, this book will provide you, your land, and animals with the best spiritual protection possible." —Marcus Grodi, host of The Journey Home, founder of The Coming Home Network, and author of Life from Our Land
Of particular and special value to readers with an interest in a Catholic approach to Christian Living and the perspective of saints with respect to our relationship to the land and how it is (or should be) used, Farming and Homesteading with the Saints is thoroughly 'reader friendly' in style, organization and presentation. While also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $11.49), Farming and Homesteading with the Saints is unreservedly recommended for personal, community, church and seminary Christian Life & Land Use collections. – Willis M. Buhle. Review of Farming and Homesteading with the Saints, by Andie Andrews Eisenberg. Reviewers Bookwatch, September 2023. Midwest Book Review.
