Published by Doubleday 2006, hardcover, 186 pages.

The cutthroats, crooks, trollops, con men and devil worshippers who became saints.

Saints are not born, they are made. And many, as Saints Behaving Badly reveals, were made of very rough materials indeed. The first book to lay bare the less than saintly behavior of thirty-two venerated holy men and women, it presents the scandalous, spicy, and sleazy detours they took on the road to sainthood.
