This book is a selection of saints presented chronologically and as Patrons. The proportion of women to men is deliberately higher than usual and the aim is-in accordance with Pope John Paul's intentions-to produce a worldwide spread of saints. Lesser-known figures that did remarkable things feature amongst some of the best-known saints. Although legends are mentioned, in true Butler's tradition, emphasis is always on historical fact. Entries are limited to canonised saints. Emblems or attributes are described where relevant and there are touches of humour where appropriate. The short introduction concentrates on the historical development of canonisation and draws some social implications. At the head of each page the patronage of the saint in question is given: for example medicine, taking exams, music, hunting, architects, and blind people. There is a saint for almost every chosen path of life and human predicament. On each page there is a decoration or illustration. The book ends with a simple glossary.

A new edition of the Concise Butler. If the saints and blessed collected here share one overarching characteristic, it is to have put their love of God to work for their fellow men and women through their chosen way of life. Time and again they say and show that faith and hope have to find expression in love for other people, especially for those most despised and neglected by the world. That is the message of those presented here, one needed more than ever today. Drawn from the original twelve volume work known as Butler's Lives of the Saints, this new edition has selected one principal saint as the focus of attention for each day of the calendar year. And now, for the first time, many saints have been included who were canonised during the Pontificate of Pope John Paul II.

"Strategies for success, developing creativity, encouraging innovation, drawing up a business plan, sourcing finance, entrepreneurial leadership"--Cover.
Saints belong to the whole history of the church but are especially visible today. One of the most visible legacies of the papacy of John Paul II has been the acceleration and multiplication of processes of beatification and canonization, mainly of figures from the recent past - martyrs under Nazism and Communism, for example. They also reflect the new universality of the Church, including more men and - increasingly, with belated justice - women from the New World and the Third World. These trends are reflected in this volume. It provides a fresh consideration of one saint or blessed for daily reading, selected mainly from among those in the new full edition of "Butler's Lives of the Saints...
