Publisher's Synopsis
Volume I includes saints from the days of the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages. Telling details from the lives of well-known saints such as Augustine, Catherine of Siena, Francis of Assisi, Dominic and Margaret of Scotland are related as well as the lives of less well-known saints such as Apollinaris who convinced Emperor Marcus Aurelius to end his persecution of Christians and Pulcheria who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire for decades. This book recounts the miracles, thoughts and even mistakes of these men and women whose love for God and their fellow men brought them into union with the Divinity while yet on earth.
