But the Order of Malta was, and is, much more than what legend and history celebrate. From its twelfth-century foundation, it has been a religious order. At its core are the three evangelical vows that lay religious men and women (for much of the order&rsquo;s history) have taken.</p>\n<p>This book brings to the fore the religious nature of the order, so long overshadowed by its glorious military tradition and, more recently, its global charitable activities. It focuses not on the monk-warrior but on the twenty plus members of the order who have been canonized and beatified for their extraordinary lives of love, prayer, and dedication.</p>\n<p>The book offers the reader a series of brief biographies on some of the most diverse groups of saints to come from one religious order, from peasants to popes and everything in between. In applying historical analysis to the lives of these holy men and women, the author demonstrates that one need not hide behind hagiographic generalities or far-fetched stories to find examples of true virtue in the lives of these Hospitallers.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.nj.com/opinion/2023/03/nj-layman-receives-a-papal-appointment-faith-matters.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read The Jersey Journal</a></p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$24.95","value":24.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax"},"height":"8.50","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"Holy Men and Women of the Order of Malta: The Canonized and Beatified from the 12th to 21st Century","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","max_purchase_quantity":0,"mpn":null,"upc":"9781505121247","options":[{"id":5145,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":10135,"label":"Hardcover","selected":true,"data":"Hardcover"},{"id":10136,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":3461,"sku":"TE1261","name":"Holy Men and Women of the Order of Malta (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/digital/holy-men-and-women-of-the-order-of-malta-the-canonized-and-beatified-from-the-12th-to-21st-century-ebook-/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books/General /eBooks & Audiobooks"],"summary":"With a storied history of being fierce defenders against the Church’s enemies, the members of the Order of Malta are professed “monk-warriors.” They act as the noble, chivalrous, and battle-scarred...","image":{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3461/7009/7009__12840.1666799858.jpg?c=1","alt":"Holy Men and Women of the Order of Malta (eBook)"},"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3461/7009/7009__12840.1666799858.jpg?c=1","alt":"Holy Men and Women of the Order of Malta (eBook)"}],"date_added":"Nov 11th 2021","pre_order":false,"show_cart_action":true,"has_options":false,"stock_level":null,"low_stock_level":null,"qty_in_cart":0,"custom_fields":[{"id":43427,"name":"Product Format","value":"Digital"},{"id":43428,"name":"Searchable","value":"N"}],"num_reviews":0,"weight":{"formatted":"0.00 LBS","value":0},"demo":false,"add_to_cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php?action=add&product_id=3461","price":{"without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$9.98","value":9.98},"tax_label":"Tax"},"add_to_wishlist_url":"/wishlist.php?action=add&product_id=3461"},{"id":1147,"sku":"2686-GROUPED","name":"100 Holy Hours for Women","url":"https://tanbooks.com/products/books/100-holy-hours-for-women/","availability":"","rating":5,"brand":null,"category":["Books/Tradition/Deluxe Leatherettes","Mothers Day Sale"],"summary":"“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (James 4:8)\n&nbsp;\nChrist waits for us, every day, in the Eucharist.
