Saints' Lives: The Miraculous, Inspiring, and Astonishing Stories of the Saints

By Tina Beattie

The extraordinary lives of the saints are full of wonder and miracles, but also some grisly endings. This beautifully illustrated compendium, written by the religious correspondent for the BBC, brings their histories back to life.

From St. Jerome taming a lion to St. Brigid's miraculous cloak or St. Lucy surviving numerous punishments unharmed, many of these inspirational stories are also parables that teach kids important life lessons, including kindness, consideration, and resilience. Each saint has a profile with facts about their history and symbols, a reference section packed with information on patron saints, relics, and even a calendar of feast days.

The perfect gift to introduce readers ages 9-12 to the stories and works of the saints or simply reading for pleasure, Saints' Lives will be treasured for years.
