Beschrijving van het boek
This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).
Welcome to the world of the super humans we call Saints. They can come back to life, fly through the air, walk on water and so much more.
Saint Denis lost his head. So he picked it up and carried on walking.
Saint Margaret was swallowed whole by a dragon, drowned, set on fire and yet refused to die.
Saint Simeon lived on top of a massive pillar in the desert.
Saint Christina visited purgatory and loved to be beaten up.
In fact there are thousands and thousands of Saints and all have amazing stories. A great many are also well-known to us all and yet their real stories are not. Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus is actually the patron Saint of sailors, dock workers, thieves, murderers, shoe-shiners and lost lawsuits. Saint Columba recorded the first sighting of the Loch Ness monster as well as stealing the recipe for nettle soup.
This is a fascinating and often hilarious look at the lives of the real super heroes we call Saints.
