Reviews for Lives of the Saints
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Standard McBrien fare, but thorough as usual. Good reference book; not the best for casual reading. Fr McB can certainly find obscure saints but he also adds a few non-Catholics who would qualify for sainthood except they aren't Catholic. I sure wouldn't disagree with his extra choices.
