St. Bernardine Siena Minibook

Saint Bernardine of Siena Minibook is a printed 20-page Catholic saint biography by Bob and Penny Lord, published by Journeys of Faith. It offers a concise introduction to Saint Bernardine, known as the Apostle of Italy, making it useful for personal devotion, saint study, and parish learning.

• Printed minibook format with 20 pages for quick reading and easy reference
• Written by Catholic authors Bob and Penny Lord
• Focuses on Saint Bernardine of Siena as friar, missionary, and reformer
• Useful for individual prayer time, classroom discussion, and RCIA or parish groups
• Easy to pair with other Catholic gifts, prayer books, and saints books

Unlike longer biographies, this minibook gives readers a focused overview that can be read in a single sitting while still providing meaningful historical and devotional context. It is especially practical for those researching a confirmation saint, preparing a lesson on the saints, or looking for a small faith resource to keep near a prayer space or travel bag.

The authors share their long connection to San Bernardino through visits to Siena, near the Basilica of Saint Francis and the Oratory of Saint Bernardine. That firsthand devotional interest gives the booklet a personal Catholic perspective rooted in pilgrimage and ongoing study. Compared to general inspirational pamphlets, this printed saint minibook is centered on a specific holy figure and his role in the life of the Church.
