This Saint's for You!: 300 Heavenly Allies for Architects, Athletes, Brides, Bachelors, Babies, Librarians, Murderers, Whales, Widows, and YouYour days of worry and frustration are over. Help has arrived, and it's absolutely free. We have identified hundreds of men, women, and children who are eager to help you - specifically you -with your problems. We are talking about patron saints. There are more than 300 patron saints for every type of person, place, and situation imaginable. There are patron saints for booksellers and bike messengers; for chefs, cab drivers, and cancer patients; for dancers, dentists, and dysfunctional families; for men who are physically unattractive; for women with unfaithful husbands; and for families stressed by house guests. Whoever you are, whatever you do, Heaven has covered all bets. The Internet has a patron saint. Television has a patron saint. So do cows, pigs, whales, wolves, and even salmon. Just about every nation on the planet - as well as most cities - has at least one patron saint. Every page of "This Saint's For You!" describes the real-life history of the saint, explaining why he/she has become associated with certain people/places/professions/situations. The book also features 300 gorgeous full-colour holy cards that depict these heavenly allies in all their glory |
