Patron Saints for Every Member of Your Family by Thomas J. Craughwell is a collection of patron saints for a variety of situations, family members and so on. The book is divided into eleven chapters so you can easily pinpoint the type of patron saint for the situation at hand.
I really enjoyed this book. While I was familiar with a large number of saints (we have a lot) there were several that I honestly had never even heard of. There are saints for everything from family members to ailments. There is even a saint for writers (St. Francis de Sales) and before you ask no he is not the same as the patron saint for animals. Taking a test? There is a saint to help you. This is a wonderful and fun reference book that will complete any collection.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I was reading back through some of your saint of the month posts, which I love & this caught my rye. My in-laws have this book and I was browsing through it last time we were at their house. So interesting to read about some of the saints, many of which I honestly had never even heard of!
