I do love the Saints and I’m very excited to introduce this wonderful resource about these holy heroes of our Faith!
Book Review: Saints: Becoming an Image of Christ Every Day of the Year
by Dawn Marie Beutner
Ignatius Press, 2020
548 pages
“The saints in this collection come from every period of Church history and all walks of life. They represent numerous countries, cultures, age groups, and vocations. They show us that holiness truly is a path open to anyone, and by their example and prayers they help us to follow it.”
I love this resource on the Saints! 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!
The nineteen pages indexing the Saints and Blesseds for every day of the year attest to how comprehensive this book is. The relatively short biographies of the Saints are accessible, with just the right amount of information about the Saints’ lives and the virtues they exemplified. At the end of each collection of Saints for one day, there is a one phrase prayer asking for the specific intercession of each Saint featured, focused on the virtues we can learn from them.
This is the perfect resource for families celebrating the Liturgical Calendar! Every Catholic family who enjoys celebrating the Saints at home (in their Domestic Church) should have this book!
