Readers can locate saints chronologically, alphabetically, by feast day, even by theme (such as conversion, forgiveness, humility, and miracles). The saint's patronage is listed when available, as is the date of beatification or canonization.

Publisher Description:

The inspiring stories of holy men and women are brought to life in reader-friendly ways.

Catholics have always been fascinated with and deeply moved by the lives of the saints, yet each Catholic has his or her own purposes for studying or meditating on various saints of the Church. Voices of the Saints takes into account that different people prefer to reference the saints in different ways and for different reasons--and offers in one book many ways to look up the saints and learn from them.
