Saint Books for the Rest of 2022

Reading books about the saints helps me to think more about their lives. They are so inspiring. Isn’t it great having prayer warriors in Heaven?

My favorite saint is St. Therese The Little Flower. This is why I’ve included books about her life in the adult and children’s lists. Her simple, humble, childlike attitude that’s described in The Story Of A Soul, is very moving. Each one of the saints is unique. Perhaps that’s why I like to read about them.

There are a lot of books about the saints and the Catholic Church. Sometimes it’s overwhelming to choose different ones. Here’s a little list of books that I put together to get you started.
