The saints were ordinary individuals who laughed, cried, loved, and suffered, and still led extraordinary lives! This book is a selection of some of the most interesting examples, from obscure to prominent. Their alphabetical life synopsis consists of short biographies for individual discovery, family learning, and religious instruction. Paperback edition features a teaching guide to assist those interested.
Handpicked from various cultures across the globe, they are historically and religiously mirrors of the past. They are honored by Christian churches worldwide and relate to people everywhere.
Remember the saints were not perfect. During their lifetimes not all society approved of their actions, beliefs, and alliances. Some did not always ponder the consequences of their initiatives, making serious mistakes in life. But they had the same feelings we all experience, running the gambit of heartbreaks, troubles, and triumphs.
Paperback includes with each saint a fun, reproducible activity page reinforcing the stories, making them more memorable while adding enjoyment. Answer keys follow.
