The Best Saints A Day
I had searched so much for a Saint a Day book for my children that didn't have clearly heretical teachings in it or made up saints. This was the first one I found and, I tell you, I just about cried when I did, I was so happy. You know what I loved at first glance? The product pictures told you every saint they would give, so you could make a solid decision. No one else did that. I do sort of wish they'd included pictures, but it's not deal breaker (obviously, since I bought it). Highly, highly recommend!!
