Saints: Becoming an Image of Christ Every Day of the Year
Since Jesus told us to be perfect, and Vatican Council II emphasized a universal call to holiness for all Christians, how do we learn to do that? One great way is to learn from and pray with the saints of the Catholic Church. We can follow in the footsteps of the ordinary Catholic men and women who fought the good fight to be holy until the end of their lives – and won that fight.
The saints have been the inspiration of faithful Catholics for hundreds of years because they show us what it looks like to follow Jesus Christ despite countless challenges and obstacles. This unique book contains short biographies of multiple saints for every day of the year, including an intercessory prayer to each saint. This helps the reader to learn about, and pray with, the numerous saints of the Church, "the communion of saints" whose personalities and challenges often resonate with our own.
This collection also provides wonderful resource information to learn more about individual saints, inspiring quotes from saints, and detailed explanations of Catholic terms that often befuddle us.
The saints in this collection come from every period in his- tory, countries, age ranges, and vocations. They show us that holiness truly is a path open to all who seek to follow Jesus Christ. By reading about the lives of the saints each day, we can learn how to apply their life lessons to our own daily challenges. By praying daily for their help, we can ask for their spiritual help and wisdom – and point ourselves toward Heaven, where we hope to spend eternity with God.

I have quite a few books about Catholic Saints, but this one is now my FAVORITE! There are SO many saints in this book...between two to six Saints, for every day of the year! The biographies are relatively short and succinct with all the most important facts about each Saint's life and the virtues we can learn from them!
Every Catholic family who enjoys celebrating the Saints at home (in their Domestic Church) should have this book!

Very nice book of the saints featuring short, approachable entries for modern and ancient saints alike as well as prophets. You won't find every saint in here, but all the most famous saints seem to be covered as well as a good cross-section of lesser-known men and women.
