Reader Reviews:
An excellent book to own (21/21 people found this helpful)
I bought this book using money I had recieved on my 21st birthday, I did not buy it because I needed it for a course of anything like that, I bought it just out of interest. I must say I do not regret buying this book one bit, as it is just so interesting.
The names of Saints are something which I frequently encounter in day to day live and until I purchased that book is something I did not give much thought to. The book opened my eyes to how interesting the topic of Saints is and a greater insight into their significance in the modern world. Overall this is an excellent book to own and I would recommend it to anybody who is interested in religion, history, or to anybody who is simply curious about the signifiance of saints.
eminently readable and informative (29/35 people found this helpful)
I borrowed this book and was fascinated by the excellence and depth of the descriptions. It is also a good read - an unbeatable combination! (which is why I am ordering this title)
