This book celebrates the lives of men and women whose goodness and devotion to God have inspired the world. Here, arranged according to their special days throughout the whole year are saints from different periods of history and from every walk of life farm labourers, princes, monks, nuns, parents, soldiers, martyrs, housewives and poets. On almost every page inspirational sayings illustrate the courage, humour and wisdom of those who put their commitment to God before everything else. In addition, lavish illustrations with more than three hundred paintings, many in full colour provide a rich, unusual and comprehensive gallery of portraits spanning almost two thousand years of art.
