This is a great book!,
By
This review is from: New Picture Book of Saints: Illustrated Lives of the Saints for Young and Old, Saint Joseph Edition (Hardcover)
As a homeschooling family with 6 children, this book has been used frequently. It is a classic. Fr. Lovasik carefully, and concisely, relates the stories of true Christian heros. The illustrations on every page are lovely. This book inspires readers to live the virtues of faith, hope, and charity.
Our children have enjoyed this book immensely. It also makes a great gift.

Pretty Interesting Book...,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: New Picture Book of Saints: Illustrated Lives of the Saints for Young and Old, Saint Joseph Edition (Hardcover)
I'm not catholic but this book is really neat.It has
information & nice illustraitions of over 100 saints. Even though I don't pray to the saints or ask for them to intercede for me,it's just inspiring to read about these martyrs,angels,priests,nuns,monks,& a lot of others who lived a godly life.

Excellent, not RACIST,
This review is from: New Picture Book of Saints: Illustrated Lives of the Saints for Young and Old, Saint Joseph Edition (Hardcover)
I grew up reading this book, and it gives a succinct biography of a bunch of popular Saints along with interesting illustrations. I read some reviews about how this book is racist, but those people are taking things way out of context. It speaks of slavery as an abhorrent disgrace to humanity as the Saints tried to help these people. It refers to Martin de Porres as a son of a "Negro, or Indian, mother." While perhaps a little outdated, it is merely historical and not offensive in the least. No I am not black, but the whole black PC stuff drives me absolutely nutso. I bought this book for my children, and if you want to point it out to your child and explain, go ahead. But it never occurred to me as a child growing up, and I don't think it undermines the greatness of this Saint book. From reading these short bios, I could choose what Saints I liked the most and read more about Saints like St Therese and St Catherine of Siena in other books.
