This episode of The Pillar Podcast is sponsored by two anonymous Pillar readers who would like you to know about the book How the Saints Shaped History.

Usually when we read about the history of the Church, we hear about popes and heresies and councils, reformers and wars and kings. Then, in the sidebar, saints. This new book, published by Our Sunday Visitor, tells the history of the Church with the saints in their proper place - as protagonists, not sidebars.

How the Saints Shaped History is available anywhere books are sold.
