This beautifully illustrated book brings together stories of Christian saints who have led remarkable and inspirational lives.
Lively, touching and vivid, some of the stories are told in the first person, others as if by onlookers, and each concludes with extra information about the life of the saint.
The illustrations are inspired by ancient art and architecture and are full of grace and sophistication.
This informative and inspirational book is one that can be returned to again and again.
The 12 stories include many popular saints from the first to the twentieth century: Saint Peter, Saint Paul, Saints Perpetua and Felicity, Saint Patrick, Saints Cyril and Methodius, Saints Francis and Clare, Saint Martin de Porres, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, Padre Pio (Saint Pio of Pietrelcina) and Saint Josephine Bakhita.
