Product information
  • The Life and Glories of Saint Joseph
  • A beautiful book about the "Forgotten saint"
  • Perfect way to learn about the Patron of the Universal Church
  • Many beautiful insights

No words of St. Joseph are recorded In Scripture. In fact, little mention is made of him there. Yet, despite these seeming limitations, the Church nonetheless possesses an indescribably rich knowledge of St. Joseph and of his cultus.

This book will astound most readers both with its scope and with its profundity. Based mainly on Scripture, but supported also by Tradition and the depositions of saints, it is a carefully reasoned analysis of the entirety of that great saint's role in the history of salvation and the life of the Church.

Includes details about his spiritual life and noble lineage; how he was prefigured in the Old Testament; his relationship to Mary and Jesus; why he has been named by Pope Pius IX "The Patron of the Universal Church;" and so forth.

Love reading of Jesus and

"Love reading of Jesus and His family. This book was all that I hoped for"

SANDRA P. (5/5)

Life and Glories of St. Joseph

"Always wondered about St. Joseph and his role in building the church. This book answers questions that have rattled in your head but you couldn’t spit out the question! So fulfilling to learn about St. Joseph from saints and scholars. Suggest a second read as things sink in. It is amazing. Peace!"

The Life and Glories of St. Joseph

"Excellent resource on our A must-read for husbands and fathers!"

LISA I. (5/5)

New pov on Joseph.

"This book opened my eyes to the Catholic view of St. Joseph. His immaculate soul was a necessity for his being the husband of Mary and the putative father of Jesus. Fascinating book, too hard to put down."

GARY E. (5/5)

This is the most logical

"This is the most logical and most beautifully constructed work of non-fiction that I have ever read. It was suggested to me by a former spiritual advisor. I put it on my Kindle, where it sat for several years until I got around to reading it. St. Joseph is truly a silent saint. His deeds say so much more than words. There are some books that need to be reread on a regular basis. This is one of them. This book was purchased as a Christmas gift for my current spiritual advisor. I do recommend a dictionary when reading the first time as language is a living thing and changes over the centuries."

Anne O. (5/5)

The Life and Glories of Saint Joseph

"This should be a must read for increasing one's understanding of St. Joseph. The author documents his works using scripture, tradition, the Fathers of the Church, and other Catholic writers. Granted it's written in older prose and it's lengthy; but, you'll come away with an appreciation for St. Joseph . . . which you never had before. It explained many questions I had. Don't pass it up!"
