My Review
A Saint a Day: 365 True Stories of Faith and Heroism is a devotional book for children. Readers will learn about a different saint each day.
I wanted to read this book because I am interested in church history and found the idea of learning more about saints in a devotional book both interesting and inspiring.
This is a beautifully designed book. The cover art is appealing and the small hardcover book is also sturdy and well made. There is a place inside the book for a gift inscription, and this would be a lovely gift - especially at Christmas, so children could start reading in the New Year.
Each devotional is on one page, with the dates of the saint's life, a Bible verse, and a short biography. The book concludes with a short one line prayer for the day inspired by the reading.
The writing is engaging and the details about the saints' lives are really interesting! I think the short, lively entries will engage and inspire children who read this book through the year.
I highly recommend A Saint a Day, especially as a gift - and a source of inspiration and learning through the upcoming year.
