In Holy Troublemakers, Daneen Akers tells the stories of six saints who challenged the status quo and made a difference in the world. These saints were not the typical pious and meek figures we often associate with sainthood. They were troublemakers, rebels, and outcasts. But they were also people of deep faith who were committed to following God's call, no matter the cost.

Akers' book is a fascinating and inspiring read. It is a reminder that sainthood is not reserved for the perfect. It is for all of us who are willing to follow God's call, even when it leads us into uncharted territory.

The six saints profiled in Holy Troublemakers are:

St. Francis of Assisi: A wealthy young man who renounced his inheritance to live a life of poverty and service to the poor.
St. Joan of Arc: A teenage peasant girl who led the French army to victory against the English.
St. Teresa of Avila: A mystic and reformer who founded the Carmelite Free Download of nuns.
St. Vincent de Paul: A priest who dedicated his life to serving the poor and sick.
St. Damien of Molokai: A priest who volunteered to live and work with lepers on a remote island in Hawaii.
St. Dorothy Day: A social activist and journalist who founded the Catholic Worker movement.

These six saints were all very different people, but they shared a common desire to follow God's call, no matter the cost. They were willing to challenge the status quo, to stand up for what they believed in, and to make a difference in the world. Their stories are an inspiration to us all.

If you are looking for a book that will inspire you to live a more faithful and courageous life, then I highly recommend Holy Troublemakers. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
