Humans of Heaven is unlike any other saint book you've experienced. It showcases 50 short stories of modern Catholic saints written by Jana Zuniga Pingel in the form of an archival coffee table book. Each saint story is paired with vintage photographs, captivating quotes, and quick facts.
Humans of Heaven is intentionally designed to feel like an heirloom style family photo album. Every detail of this book reflects this intention with sturdy photo paper, timeless coloring, and a sprinkling of handwritten fonts.

A beautiful book - both content and presentation. I love having it on my coffee table. A conversation starter for sure

I just love this book. My boss had a copy and then I went and bought 3 copies. One for myself and 2 to gift. I was able to share with my elderly father who just loves the saints. It has been fun hearing him say “oh I’ve heard of this Saint or this venerable etc” and tell me what he knows of them. Beautiful addition to any book shelf or coffee table.
Maria M.
Lovely! I’ve already “met” lots of Holy people I didn’t know of!
Marci H.
I love this book! It has some really cool pictures and the quality is great! I gave it to my niece to look through as she asked me to be her sponsor for confirmation. She supposed look and see if any of the humans in here speak to her as she chooses her confirmation name!
Connie K.
What a beautiful and inspiring book. Thank you for your excellent work and spot-on service.

I bought this book for my daughter who loves learning more about our saints, especially those more contemporary. It's a beautifully well made book and she loves it! I definitely would recommend it as a gift or just to keep for yourself.
Monica G.
This book is one of a kind! I have had several books about Saints. They are beautiful, but make the Saints seem so distant that they don’t really affect my life. This is such a personal book with photographs of these modern day Saints. It seems to strike my heart in a whole different way, and truly makes me want to become one of them. I’m so grateful to have been gifted this book. I’ve already purchased two to give us gifts of art!
Emily L.
It’s such a comfort having access to this beautiful selection of pictures sharing the lives of our friends in heaven.

From its attractive aesthetic design to well written and informative bios on the Saints, Jana has created a must have staple for all Catholic households. My family and I find ourselves thumbing through it often, sparking conversations about God’s holy saints to our daily lives.
Megan S.
This is a beautiful book that will be used for years to come! Thank you for your wonderful customer support and timely communication!
Belinda N.
Bought it for my Dad and he loved it! He was so moved seeing the photographs and is looking forward to reading it at eucharistic adoration.
Maddie D.
This book is SOOO pretty. The color is a little deeper, more emerald green than it looks in the photo. Also in this picture the wrapping is still on it, as I am giving it away as a gift. But I am so tempted to get one for myself! It is also a cute size - a tad bit smaller than your regular coffee table book.
Janet N.
This book is nothing short of exquisite! Highly recommend,
especially as a confirmation gift! It's a must have in a Catholic
home library!!!
Mrs. Richard T.
Was not sure what to expect from this book when I ordered it.
I truly am enjoying it. There are stories that I already knew about and many that I did not.
Love that I am learning new things about holy people in the Church.
Abby B.
Lovely coffee table book that is wonderful for opening up on a whim and learning about many saints!
Leeza H.
Perfect for a quick reading session for the whole family after a long day! It has become part of our nighttime routine ❤️ thank you!
Stephanie Z.
We love our new humans of heaven book, and we’re excited to display it on our coffee table. My husband and I spend a few minutes most nights reading one to two saints stories, and it has been a wonderful experience! We loved it so much that we immediately ordered 4 more for our family members for birthday presents throughout the year, and plan to pair with a coffee giftcard or something small like that
Lauren C.

I bought this book as a gift for my husband’s birthday- all of my teens and even my daughter’s boyfriend appreciate the richness and gorgeous details of this book. My husband had to steal it away to his nightstand and enjoys reflecting daily. Thank you for pouring your heart into such a lovely treasure.
Megan B.
I was immediately drawn to Humans of Heaven because of its design. The simplicity of the cover, the binding, the photos and the quotes made it so different from other Saint books I've seen. The design only highlights the amazing content within. As a lifelong Catholic and someone whose life has been deeply inspired by the lives of the Saints, I have been so edified by the stories held inside this book. Some are longtime friends of mine and some are new Saints who now are apart of my personal litany. Thank you for the work you put into it; I truly treasure Humans of Heaven.
Ann M.
Loved the book! Also bought one for my mother for Mothers Fay!
Ana Maria G.
This book is amazing. I haven't had a chance to read all of it yet, but I am savoring each page as I learn about each saint. I'm excited to show it to my friends and family when they visit.
Vanida
A beautiful compilation of Saints in one book.
Rita A.
I had heard good things about this book, but it far exceeded my expectations! The photos are incredible, and they are different than the ones we usually see. The writing is interesting and conversational, and the stories and quotes were so inspirational! I know I'll be rereading and referring to this book often!
Jeanne B.
Just a beautiful book. So many of the Saints on the pages appear to be looking right at you, it gave me God bumps as I was reading about the first few Saints. When I am finished reading this book, I will place it on our coffee table so curious family members and visitors can pick it up.
Love and God Bless,
Jeanne
Molly H.

This book is just beautiful! Between it being beautifully written and the beautiful images and stories, I cannot get enough of it. I love reading one story of each saint a day ❤️

This book is “the tangible presence of the army of God.” Within the covers of this gorgeous book you will meet the champions of our faith, the Church Triumphant, martyrs of the faith, men, women, black, white, young and old. What a treasure! May God bless your work abundantly.

So glad you asked! This book is a lovely presentation of the potential God has given freely to us, His own. We are all called. It is a beautiful read , filled with information for all ages. My husband is already using it for a presentation to his men’s faith sharing group,
(We are in our late 60’s.) our grand children will enjoy it, too. They love learning history in small bites.
Thank you for your thoughtful curation, beautiful pictures and artful presentation.

Marissa
I love this book! The pages are so beautiful as well as the Saint stories inside. The biographies are very cool and well written.
Ellie F.
This is everything I’d hoped it would be! The most beautiful book to keep out by our couch to start conversation about the Kingdom of Heaven with anyone who comes in, and the sweetest way for me to get to know the saints more personally. These are the best summaries of their lives - quick and captivating, focusing on both the relatable and heroic parts of their lives. So excited to be reading these stories with my kids, raising them to know in an intimate way this family they have in heaven.
Allie D.
This book is a treasure. You can tell it was made with love and care. I can’t wait to order more when they are in stock again!

Humans of Heaven is as thoughtful and beautiful as I was hoping! The saints featured have instantly become more relevant in our daily lives, and it is so inspiring to flip to a certain saint on a feast or for a specific intention. Was the perfect gift.
Monica B.
The book is beautiful and a great addition to our coffee table where it can be seen and picked up and read all of the time.
Kendra P.
Bought this beautiful compilation of saints for my mom’s birthday. She loves it! And keeps going back to it to learn more about the saints she did not know, and to read more about the saints she does know.
Rebecca R.
This is a beautiful, thoughtfully crafted book! Love the selection of saints included, details of their biographies, and of course the pictures.
Rachelle W.
I can't say enough about how much I love this book. I keep it on our coffee table because it's so beautiful and unassuming, and everyone in my family loves grabbing it and flipping through. I'll sit and read a couple of the bios to my kids - they're quick and engaging enough to hold their attention. It feels like a yearbook or family album. I really love it a lot, everything from the opening to the perusing to the learning. Saints coming alive in our hearts and mind!
Shelby H.
I loved the idea behind this book, so I gifted it to several people for Christmas. They all loved it. It was very well made and beautiful. A great introduction to saints I didn't previously know!

I preordered this beautiful book for my sister for Christmas. The January Jane crew did everything they could to send off the books so that we received it before Christmas!! My sisters and I all love the book it is so classy and beautiful. Whether it’s the centerpiece on your coffee table or part of your collection on the shelf, this book is definitely a must have. I love the pictures that she put in the book, it really makes you think about how these holy people were regular people just like us.
Deb M.
Jana, this Humans of Heaven product is astounding!
I had NO idea there were going to be 50 saints/saints-to-be-declared in this book. With great pleasure I turned the pages of the "M"s and found my dear friend Michelle Duppong! As I was thumbing through the initial pages I thought, “Oh man, what a shame that Michelle isn’t featured in a book like this” and then THERE SHE WAS! Thank you for including her!!
I have so enjoyed reading about the others that I’ve never heard of before – I love learning about ‘new’ contemporaries!
LAUREN D.
What a beautiful book! I gave it to my aunt for Christmas and she loved it. Beautifully laid out. I’m crossing my fingers it comes back in stock to give a copy to my MIL. I should’ve ordered two.
Stephanie L.
So many adjectives to describe this book— beautiful, inspiring, edifying, powerful, heart warming. The efforts and prayers put into this fly off the pages.
Amy C.
My Goddaughter showed me this book . I read several pages and knew I had to have it. Miracles happen everyday. God is real.
michele g.
This book is a dream come true - bringing the saints of heaven down to earth to learn and love them even more. I love all the vintage pictures, the quotes and way the whole book is laid out. Thank you Jana, this has become my favorite book and will be my go to for a very special gift for friends, Godchildren, etc.
