I have discovered an amazing series; Encounter the Saints from Pauline Books and Media. Currently there are 36 books available in the series and another is due out in January 2018. A few of the books have been updated over the years, noticeably when they have moved from Blesseds to being Sainted, and also the Mother Teresa was updated from Calcutta to Kalkota. I have read 3 of these books in the last two weeks and they are wonderful.
These books provide inspiration. They provide encouragement. They are written for the ages 8-12 range but as an adult I love them and plan on reading many many more in the series. All the books in the series are currently available on the Pauline site, but not all are currently available through Amazon or other retailers. Some are available only in physical copies and others in both mobi or epub eBook editions as well as the physical. I have started reading these with my son, and my oldest and I have started reading them together where we alternate pages as we read. These book are a great blessing to our family and I am sure they would bless anyone who reads them; and there is such a variety of Saints to encounter in this incredible series so why not pick one or two up and give them a try!
