Saints: A Family Story

This collection,

The stories begin with Pope St. John Paul II because he referred to as the Church today to sanctity by giving us the gift of increasingly more saints. The stories then move chronologically, from stories of saints in the Gospels, to martyrs, confessors and ascetics of the early Church, to saints of the medieval period, and to more up to date saints, like Ven. Augustus Tolton, Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and St. Teresa of Calcutta.

Through the stories of these saints, we receive new brothers and sisters, moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers in the faith. Every person’s life tells the “story” of God’s love in a unique and unrepeatable way. The illustrations bring shape and color to these stories, capturing the true diversity a number of the magnificent and beautiful “Circle of relatives of saints.”
