John B. Manos

Before stockings and sleighs, Nicholas lobbed gold through windows and rescued the innocent. Saintly deeds, secret missions, and a dash of scandal await.

From spoiled heir to cave-dwelling legend, St. Sabas ditched family drama for desert life, founded monasteries, and lived to ninety-four. Drama solved.

Dad builds a prison tower. Daughter finds Jesus. Torture, beheading, and a surprise heavenly lightning strike. Moral? Don’t underestimate a saint—or God’s aim.

From lecture halls to leaky boats, this restless saint sprinted through empires, outwitted rivals, and nearly stormed China before God called him home. Adventure meets devotion.

Whipped with lead, offered sin, and left with nothing—Bibiana’s steadfast courage in the face of Rome’s cruelty turns a grim page into a gripping tale.

He made two thrones instead of one, dodged relic oaths, and sold his lunch to free prisoners. This saint was no ordinary goldsmith.

St. Andrew: From catching fish to catching martyrdom, he spends two epic days preaching from a cross with more drama than a Roman soap opera.

Saturninus refused to bow to bull-worship, so they strapped him to one. Spoiler: the bull won. Faith, bravery, and one very messy martyrdom.

Saint James ditched earthly drama for nonstop fasting, miracle-making, and a lifetime of holy hide-and-seek—even kings couldn’t keep him from his prayers.

Meet St. Maximus: the abbot so gentle his monks practically governed themselves. He dodged being a bishop… until he couldn’t escape holiness.
