Lives Surrendered to God: Biblical Figures and Saints Who Gave Everything
What story will you write on the remaining pages of your life? That question, simple and searching, stands at the center of My Days Are in Your Hands: Men and Women in the Footsteps of Jesus by Cardinal Fernando Filoni, published by EWTN Publishing. Writing not as a distant academic but as a seasoned pastor who has traveled the world and served the Church at its highest levels, Cardinal Filoni draws readers into the lives of the men and women of Scripture and tradition who answered that question by placing their days entirely in God's hands.
These are not distant heroes preserved in stained glass. They are witnesses who faced fear, doubt, and failure, and who found in their surrender to God the deepest consolation the human heart can know. Through their stories, Cardinal Filoni offers an invitation, not merely information, to live with the same wholehearted love that made them unforgettable.
