This edition features saints from many nations and backgrounds and includes new articles on recently canonized saints. The index offers the list of saints from the complete edition, and includes all new canonizations and new dates, making it eh most up-to-date listing of saints available. Butlter's Lives of the Saints remains a remarkable reference source and, through its comprehensive biographies, a valuable aid to devotion and a rich source of historical information.

after the Bible, the Missal and The Imitation of Christ. A Saint or
two for each day of the calendar. Great for a daily meditation;
each life is followed by a \"lesson\" from the life to help us
apply the virtues of the Saint to ourselves. Great for the entire
family. Includes famous Saints since Fr. Butler\'s time; all
recounted in the same beautiful, reverent spirit that was his.
