Overview “The memory of the righteous is a blessing.” Proverbs 10:7 And so we know the familiar saying “out with the old and in with the new” is far from true as we live, move, and have our being in the Church. Our past cradles God’s magnificent story of salvation as found in His Word, and intertwined with the Lord’s story, are the stories of those who are His. Celebrating the Saints introduces you to a collection of feasts and festivals, as well as saints in both Testaments and from nineteen centuries of the Church’s life. Historical sketches and devotional writings in step with the liturgical calendar in Lutheran Service Book reveal these saints not as great exceptions, but great examples of our heavenly Father’s faithfulness. Each section also features a prayer, hymn stanza, and additional suggested readings. As you encounter the lives of these men and women redeemed by the Lamb, you’ll gaze into “a mirror of the grace and mercy of God” (Martin Luther). Our fellow heirs of eternal life serve but a humble purpose—to point us to the Saint, the Holy One, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fantastic Lutheran Resource!
While this resource is not comprehensive, it's an excellent resource for Lutherans who want to be introduced and observe the saints. As a family with young kids, we can even read it to them.

Lovely!
My husband and I have added this to our morning readings. It is so good to be reminded of those faithful saints who have gone before us in the Christian walk. Some of the entries are so sweet, while others are horrific in what these Godly Saints endured for the Faith. It is so good to be reminded!

Not Impressed
I purchased this work by Rev. Weedon, the truth be told that this NOT the book of Saints that I was hoping for. I understand that this work features only those major players from the Scriptures and from early church history and those from your denomination but it does not reflect the Universal Church as a whole. Disappointing.

Worth celebrating!
We received this as a gift from one of our children's godparents. What a great book for personal and also family use! The entries are clear and interesting and include prayers to tie the historical and theological significance of each saint to the daily Christian lives of the rest of us here below. There is a deep joy that comes of getting to know some of the beloved departed with whom we will one day spend eternity, by God's grace and favor. Thank you!
