Combining the art of dramatic storytelling with biography, Church history, and Catholic teaching and belief, this collection features saints from different eras, continents, and walks of life. Stories highlight a particular aspect of or challenge in the saint's life and connect it to the Catechism. Showing how real people lived the eight beatitudes and seven sacraments, their stories reveal the richness of the Christian life and offer inspirational models of the faith. A "Reader's Guide" contains personal reflection and group discussion questions.
