The saints are people who loved Jesus and helped others. They were close to God on earth, and now they are close to him in heaven. The saints are friends of God, and they want to become your friends, too! In these pages, you will meet many saints. Some liked to play soccer or ride horses. Others survived shipwrecks and traveled across continents to tell people about Jesus. Still others stood up for those who were being bullied and bravely worked for justice. Each saint has a unique story to share. And now, every day of the year you can personally get to know the saints by reading one of their amazing stories. Our Friends in Heaven is a two-volume set. Volume 1 covers January to June. Volume 2 goes from July to December. If you read one story every day, you will have made many new friends in heaven by the end of the year! Book jacket.
