"A collection of short biographies of the Saints and the Beatified of America, which can shed light on and stimulate the response to the universal call to holiness in America.” (Pope John Paul II, The Church in America).

“This book is a wonderful contribution to appreciate the rich spiritual heritage we possess in the lives of so many heroic men and women of America. Dan Lynch traces the historical development, both secular and religious, through the centuries:

• Catholic Explorers and Missionaries courageously spread the faith!
• The soil for sanctity is enriched by the blood of Martyrs!
• Individual Saints help mold the Church in America and
  significantly influence the beginning and growth of the States!
• The Church continues to harvest rich fruits of sanctity!

Dan Lynch has produced a very enjoyable, enriching and inspiring book. It challenges us to do in our times what these holy men and women did in their own.” - Fr. Andrew Apostoli, CFR
