Outstanding Coffee Table Book on the Saints,
By A Regular Joe (A Regular City, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Hundred Saints: Their Lives and Likenesses Drawn from Butler's Lives of the Saints and Great Works of Western Art (Hardcover)
I bought this book from a used book shop and was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful selection of pictures and pieces from Butler's Lives of the Saints. If you are looking for an introduction to the saints, this is well worth the money.

This review is from: One Hundred Saints: Their Lives and Likenesses Drawn from Butler's "Lives of the Saints" and Great Works of Western Art (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful addition to our pleasure-reading stack. While obviously not very thorough in its list of saints, this book contains easy-to-read, well-written bios (usually just 1 page) explaining who each saint is and why they are famous, accompanied by full-page, full-colour images of famous artworks depicting the saint in action. While this would certianly not pass as an academic source book, it is certainly informative (especially for a protestant like me) and a delight to flip through.
