In Catholicism, sainthood is the highest state of holiness for any soul in Heaven.

There are more than 10,000 saints that have been canonized by the Catholic Church - some were exemplary models, others extraordinary teachers, while some worked miracles or changed the lives of millions through their guidance and good works. Arranged in chronological order, the book covers all the major saints, from St Paul, the Apostle who did most to spread Christianity following the death of Christ, and established Christian communities in Asia Minor - to Pope John Paul II, famous for being a peacemaker and providing spiritual inspiration during the fall of communism.

In between, this compact volume covers well-known historical figures such as Joan of Arc, who defended the honour of France in the Medieval era, the philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas, and lesser-known saints such as Zita, the 13th century patron saint of maids and domestic servants. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and with 150 illustrations and artworks of saints from every part of the world, this book will fascinate anyone interested in inspiring - and often very human - religious figures from Biblical times to the present.
