Good Overview

We never get enough about the Franciscan Saints beyond the most well known. This is a good reminder of fact there are more.

Great—Wanted more!

Loved reading about the Saints I never heard about. Wish the stories could have been a wee bit longer with more info.

The Franciscan Saints-Robert Ellsberg

This is the perfect companion for my daily time with the Lord. Each story is concise enough to fit in my busy day, but detailed enough to show the nuances of each saint on their journey. Just like us.
