From the Time of Jesus to the Present Day

Many of the stories are accompanied by short explanations of historical and cultural settings as well as anecdotes about the times in which the saints lived. Illustrations range from paintings and drawings of the saints to photographs showing where they may have lived or objects important to their work.

Reviews
'Addressing a broad audience of Christians, this comprehensive catalogue offers a rich collection of biographical stories, legends, and illustrations that detail the lives of saints. The stories stand alone but also refer to one another, so that the book can be browsed as well as read straight through. Throughout, the writing is inviting and almost conversational. These tales of ordinary people who lived in extraordinary, holy ways provide both a wonderfully entertaining read and inspiring examples of courage and goodness.'
