Thank you for this ARC.
This collection is wonderful. All the Saints are listed in alphabetical order. Do read the introduction. However you were raised, in any part of this world, if you believe in God and prayer, this book is for you. Also do share this book with your community. A collection of saints. Small details of their path and little anecdotes of prayers from each one. Truly heartfelt. Enjoy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ave Maria Press for an eARC in exchange for an honest review

I've read various books this year that have taught me more about the history of the church and some traditional practises, and I found this little collection of Saints' prayers to be the perfect companion. Alongside some beautiful prayers for all kinds of situations, I loved the introductions to each saint that helped me (a non-catholic) understand the context of when and how each of these holy people lived and died.

While Praying with the Saints is a commendable and accessible resource, there are a few aspects worth noting.
Firstly, the selection of saints feels somewhat random at times, seemingly aimed at including figures from diverse continents, which unfortunately results in the exclusion of some major names from Christian tradition. This effort at broad representation, though well-intentioned, can feel forced.
Secondly, there's a factual error in the section about Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. The book states that he was canonized during the Jubilee of Youth, but this is incorrect - his canonization was postponed due to the death of Pope Francis and the election of Pope Leo XIV.
Additionally, the biographies are written in a conversational, almost spoken style, as if someone were addressing the reader directly. While this may appeal to some, it can also detract from the reading experience for others who prefer a more formal or reflective tone.
That said, the book is quite comprehensive, and the format in which the prayers are presented allows readers to easily find a prayer suited to their present moment or need - a feature I particularly appreciated.
Overall, I believe this book will appeal more to the general public than to those with extensive theological background, but that’s part of its strength. Its accessibility makes it a valuable devotional companion for everyday readers seeking spiritual inspiration.

I really liked this devotional. It has a good variety of saints and isn't just a live of the saints book. It's got a lot of different prayers too which is great! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

I received a free copy of, Praying with the Saints, by Woodeene Koenig-Bricker, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have always had a love of the saints, I have read a lot of books about the saints, this is a really good book about the saints. This book has information about 1oo saints, from known to lesser known. St. Agnes, St Brigid, to the newest St. Carlos. I really liked this book.
