Wishing you a blessed All Saints Day!

"I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands: And they cried with a loud voice, saying: 'Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.'" 

~The Apocalypse of Saint John 7:9-10

There are few better ways to enhance and encourage our own faith than by reading of the great words and works of those saints of Jesus Christ who have gone before us. A great collection of over three dozen historical novels on the lives of the saints may be found at the Young Catholic's Bookshelf site here.

If all those books are too overwhelming for you, check out I Am A Christian: Authentic Accounts of Christian Martyrdom and Persecution from the Ancient Sources. This book provides the most ancient accounts of Christian martyrdom to have survived antiquity and, as such, offers a glimpse into how the earliest followers of Christ put their faith into action.
