Angels and Saints

Short Review: This is a pretty short book. I read it in half of a morning, although there was definitely some skimming. I try to read books outside my Evangelical tradition pretty regularly to learn about other Christians and understand different perspectives on faith. And I have read several other books by Scott Hahn. So I was happy to pick up the book when I was offered it for review. I was expecting something similar to his Signs of Life book which looked at the biblical origins of 40 different Catholic traditions. (And Signs of Life had an explanation of Saints as one of the 40 chapters.)

This book spends several brief chapters talking about saints, but I honestly think the shorter explanation in Signs of Life was better. And there was very little about Angels, so that feels like a publisher request to add something else at the last minute. The book then had several short bios of various saints including Moses, Mary and a variety of relatively modern saints.

Overall this just isn't a book I would really recommend. Instead read signs of life and a good biography
