Synopsis

Enrich each day with models for Christian living drawn from the authoritative 12 volume Butler's Lives of the Saints. Adapted into a single volume for daily devotional reading, Butler's Saint for the Dayfeatures the life of one saint or blessed for each day of the year. Originally published as the New Concise Edition of Butler's, this revision puts much more emphasis on 20th century figures. The selections also reflect the late John Paul II's attention to holy men and women throughout the world, especially the Americas.

About this title

Review:

[O]ffers its readers a whole host of men and women whose exemplary lives of faith and holiness offer us models and inspirations to spur us on to live more fully our own call to holiness.Emmanuel

For those who wish to reflect upon one particular saint each day this will be a welcome volume.Prairie Messenger

It is to the book’s credit that, whether one is lay or ordained, single or married, man or woman, American or African, there is sure to be a saint who can be an inspiration to you. . . . I look forward to continuing to use these books as a means of prayer and, in the process, meeting some new friends in the Lord!St. Anthony Messenger
