SAINTS WHO CHANGED THE WORLD : TRUE STORIES OF COURAGE, FAITH, AND LASTING IMPACT by Eden Marsh
Introductory material about what a saint is and how they become one, etc.
Saints are listed together because of their attribute.
At the saints name it talks of their life in years and so many start off in very low centuries, medieval times. Read about St. Gregory and was astonished to learn of what he had done while he was alive. Feeding and caring for those with no money or low in status. He trained his followers to tend to them and then to lead them to believe in faith. How they were drawn to religion and where they lived, usually with the poor or lower class. All the saints share so much of themselves to help others. So many worthwhile stories to share among the family when it's reading time, pass the book along so everybody gets a turn to read aloud about one saint a night.
Glad the book also included popes because of all the work they do/did in their lifetimes. References are included and also websites to visit to learn more.
Great entertainment.
