I love books like this. A short chapter filled with facts and bible verses. Added activities for children make it a little more fun and easier to remember names and what they are famous for. We had a priest that would do a saint a week and many of them still remain in my memories. I can see he could have gotten his lesson from this or a similar book. A nice table of contents lets you pick and choose from the 52 Saints in this book. A good gift item for a friend or family member that is interested in the church. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A new edition of this delightful book on saints aimed at Moms. Each saint is covered with a short biography and plenty of additional information. With 54 saints in 52 chapters (two couples are included), the book has devotional reading and activities for each week of the year. Some of the saints have only recently been canonized.

Each chapter has the same format Starting is a box with basic information about the saint: birth & death dates, patronage, and feast day. Then a brief biography follows. Next comes a reflection, bringing the saints relevance to the modern mom to the forefront. The next two sections have a quote from the saint and a Bible reading for each day of the week. Concluding the chapter are activities for both mom and kids and a prayer for the family to say together.

It's a great resource!

I read this book in record time; it is just THAT good!! As a new Catholic, I find myself completely obsessed with learning about the saints. I just love them so much. To know that I have a team of holy men and women rooting me on, praying for me, and willing to teach me? Guys, that's amazing. (You've heard of girls and their tribe? The saints are my tribe. Yours, too!) A BOOK OF SAINTS FOR CATHOLIC MOMS was not only edifying, informative and easy to read, but extremely encouraging and reassuring. I love being a mama to 5 humans, but it is definitely not easy. Having the help of the saints is a huge gift from the Lord. This book I will keep with me always!
