Noted hagiographer Ann Ball presents a moving book for our modern times. In words and photos, she presents the lives of more than 50 modern saints, including the touching stories of Blessed Gianna, Miguel Pro and other Mexican martyrs, Pier Giorgio Frassati, and Dorothy Day.Here we find stories of courage, faith, and holiness from men and women around the world. The saints include mystics and martyrs, students and spouses, doctors of medicine and doctors of the faith.

First, and best biographical Saint book I've read,
By Adam (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Faces of Holiness: Modern Saints in Photos and Words (Paperback)
Ann Ball chooses an excellent selection of modern Saints, Blesseds, and Venerables in this book. Many of the accounts are very inspirational, with the lives of several martyrs, and other holy people who undertook extreme penance for their sorrow of sins. Excellent choice for those looking for inspirational stories about ways to achieve holiness and perfect union of your soul and Jesus.
