Whoever you are, whatever you do, there is a patron saint who wants to help you - specifically you - with your life. There is a patron saint of booksellers. There is a patron saint of traveling salesmen. There are patron saints: for vegetarians, cab drivers, and cancer patients; for astronauts, horseback riders, and dysfunctional families; for men who are physically unattractive; and, for families stressed by houseguests. These saints are ready to help, and their services are absolutely free! "This Saint Will Change Your Life!" describes the real-life histories of more than 300 saints and explains how they have become associated with certain people, places, and professions. Also included are 300 gorgeous full-color holy cards that depict these heavenly allies in all their glory. First published in 2007, this revised edition includes a fresh new design and a sprinkling of new saints - like St. Francis De Sales, patron saint of bloggers.
