Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 465 reviews.
When this book first came out, I was so disappointed that it sold out before I could get it. A friend of mine was gifted it and I loved to look at it. I was so happy to see it in stock! I am able to read it to my children, who love the photos of real life saints.
Absolutely beautiful! My 12 years old son loved it.
This gem of a book has been an inspiration in my prayer life in so many beautiful ways. It gives the reader a chance to quietly ponder the life of a courageous soul who gave every ounce of strength to Jesus amidst both joys and sufferings. The photographs help me to know these are real people who are now our heavenly friends. When is Volume 2 coming out?
This book is wonderful! My sister bought it for my daughter as a baptism anniversary gift. I am now using it as part of the curriculum for the confirmation class at my parish. And I bought some to give as baptism anniversary gifts for our godchildren. The photos, stories, and quotes are touching and inspiring. All you humans of Heaven, pray for us!!
It's a gorgeous book, perhaps more beautiful in person, but exactly as described. Definitely more of an intro to newer saints, which is exactly what I wanted for myself and to gift. The format, images, brief bios and quality of materials all work together to give you a lovely experience with these humans of heaven. Packaged well, shipped and arrived quickly. Highly recommend.
I love thit book!
Purchases for my q9-year-old daughter as a birthday gift! She LOVES it and can’t wait to read it — beautiful, unique presentation of the saints.
I had my eye on this book for many weeks before I actually purchased it. I was patiently waiting for a Black Friday sale, and I snatched it then. I have searched the internet and Etsy for Catholic art, gifts, clothing and more and I was blown away by this uniqueness of this shop! I bought several polaroid photos and was greatly impressed by them too! This book is beautiful and I will be giving one away as a gift and keeping one for myself. I love that it includes the well known saints, but also those not so well known. It even includes those who are Blessed.
I saw this book advertised on Instagram and decided to treat myself. Upon receiving I loved it so much I bought another one to give as a Christmas gift. It is so beautiful and so well done, this book will be treasured for years to come.
I love this book and plan to buy several copies for Christmas gifts. It gives a short account of many modern and less known saints. It inspires you to learn more about the ones who appeal to you. It’s visually pleasing and very readable. I think it would make a great gift for someone preparing for confirmation.
My toddler loves all the photos and now knows almost all the names in the book!
The Humans of Heaven book is beautifully done, with pictures and great biographies! I also love the St. Pier Giorgio Frassati and St. Carlo Acutis photo cards! Thank you!
Such a beautiful book! I bought it to use in my Faith Formation class. My favorite part is the photos! They really make the saints come alive!
We love everything from January Jane! The quality of the prints are spectacular! We get so many compliments on our mantle! So happy to have these heirloom quality saint photographs. Thank you for making beautiful Catholic art that uplifts the soul and mind to Our Lord!
I am loving this book! Beautifully made. It’s such a blessing to have the stories and pictures of these Saints in my living room, ready to read and be shared with my family. And to those of my 5 children a little far from the Lord, may this book bring some curiosity, until the grace of God fully catch them back.
Beautiful book and perfect short stories about Holy people! Love the description about Who are the Saints and Key Terms about the steps to become a Saint. The photos are beautiful and so are the hand written quotes from each Holy person. I’m sharing this bk w/leaders from our Parish and can’t wait to read some of these stories to our Middle School Faith Formation class!
LOVE THIS BOOK! It is the perfect size & the pages are absolutely beautiful. The story of each saint is well written & the photos are awesome! I’ve been showing everyone my new book!
Beautifully laid out.
Love this! Such a great way to learn the saints little bits at a time. Great bedside or coffee table read! 🩵
A beautiful collection of real life photos and stories of our brothers and sisters in heaven. So much more relatable than the animated ones. I bought it for my children, but can't decide if I should give it to them or to my godchild or my nephew for graduation. I think I have to buy two more!
LOVE this book soooo much! An inspiring reminder of how possible it is to be a saint!
Love, love, love this!!! It’s the real pictures, well written stories, choice of saints….! It’s so beautiful! The Holy Spirit is at work here…! So beautiful!
Such a wonderful book! I love it. It’s beautiful.
I have bought two copies of this book. One for me and one for my mom. It's such a lovely book and I just had to share it! It really makes the saints feel so much closer.:)
Absolutely gorgeous book!! The writing is captivating and each Saint story beautiful. I want 10 more copies of this book.
Loved learning about all the modern saints!
I love the unique combinations of saints! The descriptions and quotes are lovely! 🌹🙏🏻
Loved it! I bought the first one for myself and as soon as I received them I knew it would make a great gift for my mom and aunt!!
Absolutely beautiful book. I gifted a copy to a friend who survived a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy. She came out on the other side cancer free and with a healthy baby girl. It was through the intercession of some of these very saints that God granted her healing. What a beautiful tribute and reminder of the holy souls who have gone before us and are interceding in our lives, leading us closer to God.
I love this book and am telling everyone to read it
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!
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.
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.
This book is excellent, and the best written book about Saints. It’s a great conversation starter. Even my Protestant friends enjoy reading this book! It’s encouraging for us to live our life to become a saint one day.
Absolutely gorgeous book! It is very out together with its collection of biographical sketches, quick facts, photographs, and quotes. A beautiful gift or a thoughtful purchase for one’s own home.
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.
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.
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.
