Matthew BunsonMargaret BunsonStephen Bunson Since it was first published, this has been one of our most popular reference books. Now it's thoroughly up-to-date, including all the saints most recently canonized and beatified by Pope John Paul II. No other book gives you so much information about so many saints, all in alphabetical order. Are you looking for inspiring stories? Do you want to know more about your patron saint? Here in one giant volume are the lives of hundreds of saints, famous and obscure - stories you can browse through for hours. From the Apostles to St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you'll find holy men and women - children, too - from every time and every place. Some were kings. Some were slaves. Many were ordinary people, just like us. Some died as martyrs; some died of old age in their beds. But all lived outstanding holy lives. Our Sunday Visitor's Encyclopedia of Saints is simply the most comprehensive guide ever published on the saints, as one critic put it. For families, schools, and parishes, this book is an essential reference you'll want to keep close by.

A Wonderful Reference,
By Jennifer A. Morgan (AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Our Sunday Visitor's Encyclopedia of Saints (Hardcover)
This is one of those books that you keep in the library as the perfect reference. The curious minded reader can browse these pages for hours. As the title indicates it is an Encyclopedic work set up in alphabetical order by name. Most entries have biographical information with note of the feast day. The twelve Appendices are a great addition and sort the entries in a range of catagories from Popes, US Martyrs, Mystics, etc. There is a Glossary of terms and a Calendar of Feast Days as well as an Alphabetical Index. Text is broken with the occational black and white engraving. A very comprehensive and complete work on the saints both famous and obscure as well as significant beati.

This review is from: Our Sunday Visitor's Encyclopedia of Saints (Hardcover)
A great book and a must for every Catholic home or someone who is interested in the lives of the saints. Check out your favorite saint! The book is well constructed and full of interesting facts. I purchased two copies, one for myself and the other for my granddaughter. I was very pleased with the book, but was even more elated when my granddaughter called me and sincerely thanked me for the book. She is 14 years old.
