Book excerpt: This illustrated encyclopedic book contains stories and facts on over 100 saints and remarkable Christian lives, from the Gospels to the 20th century, making it an invaluable reference tool and a lovely book to browse and dip into. The book is arranged by time and by region, starting with the saints of the Bible in the Holy Land and moving to different countries that reflect the spread of Christianity - from the lands around the Mediterranean in the early centuries to more distant regions and ultimately the whole world. Engaging storytelling combines with encyclopedic features (captions, illustrations, side-boxes, snapshot biographies and a calendar of saints' days) to bring the stories to life in an engaging and informative way.
