Book Synopsis

Did you know that God has superheroes of his own? They started as ordinary people of different ages, from all different countries and different races, from rich and poor and all walks of life. Then they heard God's call, accepted their missions, and were changed forever!

God's Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Men, Vol. II highlights another thirty-eight amazing Catholic men, including Saint Damien de Veuster, Saint Francis de Sales, Hugh O'Flaherty, Saint Jean de Brebeuf, Saint José Sánchez del Río, Saint Juan Diego, Saint Philip Neri, Blessed Solanus Casey, and a trio of heroic chaplains: Servant of God Emil Kapaun, Venerable Joseph Lafleur, and Servant of God Vincent Capodanno.

The men in this book were brave and bold in their Catholic Faith. Some of them even had what could be called "superpowers." God gave them special abilities that helped them bring people closer to him, such as healing, bilocation, reading hearts and minds, and knowing future events. Whether dealing with their own weaknesses or facing persecution, torture, and even death, they held onto their faith and never wavered in their mission.

God's superheroes are still champions for good today. They want you to continue their work of helping those in need, fighting evil and injustice, and making Jesus known and loved. They want to help you find the mission that God has for you.
