In this page-a-day book for men, Melanie Rigney gives us a panoply of widely known and more obscure saints who show the way to be better disciples of Christ. They offer compelling examples of how to meet the challenges of daily life, be strengthened in your faith, and, become the man God created you to be.
While no such book would be complete without entries on Sts. Peter, Paul, the Francises, Anthony of Padua, Augustine and the other Doctors of the Church, Ignatius of Loyola, Benedict, John, John Paul, and so on, it also includes many of the men canonized or beatified in the past fifty years, including but not limited to Oscar Romero, Padre Pio, Solanus Casey, Louis Martin, Francisco Marto, Pino Puglisi, Odoardo Focherini, Gabriel del Rosario Brochero, Benedict Daswa, Josef Mayr-Nusser, Junipero Serra, Oklahoma's own Stanley Francis, and the martyrs of Otranto, Natal, Korea, Albania, Algeria, and the Spanish Civil War.
