Modern Saints Book One

Old book and probably out of print, but would be a great addition to anyone's library who is into Saint tracking. I only have book one, but I continually look for any of the follow on books. Ball is very good about explaining the Saints in this book and the "soon to be" Saints as well. In fact I especially like her chapters on the Blessed and the Venerable. The Saints she covers in this volume are very interesting because they are the lesser known Saints and they come from all over the world. Names include Saint Benildus, Saint Julie Billiart, Saint Bernadette Sourbirous, Saint Charbel Makhlouf, and my favorite of the most recent Saints Pio of Pietrelcina (who was still just a Padre at the time of publishing). 55 holy people in all. A very nice collection. Each persons life and accomplishments are summarized in about 10 pages along with pictures of most. Pick it up if you can find it.
