Saints A Year in Faith and Art

As a Catholic School librarian, I highly recommend this book. One of the very delightful aspects of this book is it's beautiful physical appearance. It is small in size, remanisant of medieval hand printed books. The smooth paper and gilt cover add to it's appeal. There is a brief description of each saint with an accompanying picture on the opposite page. The old masters art work is lovely. However, some of the pictures are graphic and may not be for very young children.

Great Book of Saints!

This is an amazing little book of saints. Designed for a "saint a day", it sometimes has two saints per day, but what really stands out is the absolutely beautiful artwork from medieval to modern times. Although the book is small, and hence the pictures also small, they are so sharp and beautiful that their size won't matter. The lives of each saint, being limited to a page or a page and a half, are only overviews, but good for a brief reading on a daily basis. No large time commitment here.

Daily Encounters Enriched by the Saints

The book offers a daily review of a saint or blessed within the Catholic faith. An overview of their life and who they are patron saints of is included. What I enjoyed most was learning the Saints name origin and what it means. Each review is only 1 large paragraph and a picture is included. What a wonderful way to start or end your daily prayers!
