Book description
Who was St. Genesius, and why is he the patron saint of actors? Why is
St. Thérèse of Lisieux, who was a cloistered nun, the patron saint of
missionaries? Is there a patron saint for automobile mechanics? How
about for athletes?
Bestselling Catholic writer Mitch Finley answers these questions and
more in this delightful book of one hundred saints and the occupations,
groups, or causes they are associated with. These are listed
alphabetically and cross indexed with a list of the saints featured in
the book, making it easy to find either the saint or the cause. In each
short selection, Finley describes the life of the saint and why he or
she has been selected as a patron.
Finley's popular style makes this book fun to read.
A great resource to keep on your shelf for years to come.
