    Book on the saints?

    Seeing how I'm strongly considering the priesthood, I think it best I become familiar with the holy men and women who came before me. Any book suggestions. I would prefer a book that perhaps covers a wide range of saints, including modern ones.

    This one is old but it seems to be a classic:

    I know that Verbum has a huge list of book in this store, so I would be surprised if it there is no way to find good ideas by browsing the list:

    I found G K Chesterton books on St Thomas Aquinas and St Francis of Assisi wonderful https://www.amazon.ca/Thomas-Aquinas-Francis-Assisi-Introductions/dp/0898709458

    "Hounds of the Lord", by Kevin Vost, covers a good range of specifically Dominican saints.

    Thanks Alexander, I was looking to read more about the Dominican saints.
