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.

Lovely book!!

I love love love this book. It is beautifully bound and all of the details inside are beautiful as well. I love the mixture of well known and loved Saints with lesser known Saints, Blesseds, and Servants of God. I’ve been reading a bio or two before I go to sleep every day and have been surprised just how many amazing stories are in the pages! They have all been so inspiring, and I’m getting my Mom a copy as a gift I know she will love and will be inspired by as well. I already know I will read this cover to cover many times and it won’t just be a coffee table book — thank you for creating such a wonderful heirloom!
Sarah H.

I am giving this book as a Christmas gift to my daughter-in-law. She picked it out & I am sure she will enjoy reading it!

I originally saw the book on a coffee table at my friend’s home. I liked the book “Humans of Heaven” so much that I purchased four more copies for my women’s group, for Christmas, so we could discuss a saint a week. It came so beautifully and artistically packaged. I also love the Polaroid cards. They are also artistically presented. Well done!
Abby V.
Beautiful book! I bought two as Christmas gifts, and I am so excited to share them!
Madeleine S.
Loved learning about all the modern saints!
Rosemary T.
I was babysitting for a friend’s children and saw this book on the coffee table. After I picked it up, I knew I had to have a copy of my own! Once I had my own copy, I ordered one for each of my Christian women’s group for Christmas. We are going to go through the book and do one Saint weekly each time we meet. I love the book because the Saints are the most current and they become so personal. It is such a beautiful book! I know we will all be blessed by it. You’ll have to make a few updates soon with new canonizations in April. Thank you for touching our hearts.

We sent our oldest daughter, Megan, to a small Catholic school in Kindergarten so she could get a “good Christian” education. One day she came home and said, “when I grow up I’m going to be Catholic”! She had an amazing religious teacher and she received 100% on all of the Diocesan tests and LOVED the Catholic faith. Her teacher and the parish Priest invited us to all church events. Megan’s favorite was All Saint’s Day. Her 5th grade year her dad and I attended RCIA, due to Megan being relentless, and we both converted to Catholicism that Easter. The Saints were beautiful guides and examples of the Catholic faith along with all of the people God placed in our lives. Our youngest of three girls, Cate, just graduated from Saint Mary’s in May 2024! Her gift to the same religion teacher, Jill, was your book “Humans of Heaven”! Jill LOVES the Saints! She shared that your book is the best gift she has ever received and uses it every week in class. Several of her current students have chosen Saints that they discovered in your book for their All Saints Day presentations this year! I also helped Jill order a large number of “Humans in Heaven” books for her grandchildren for Christmas! Jill started our journey to Catholicism-we fell in love with the Catholic faith-because of this love I stumbled on your Instagram page-fell in love with “Humans of Heaven” and gifted it-Jill is now using it to teach young kids who will present these Saints to our parish to learn about these wonderful “Humans in Heaven”! God has blessed you with a wonderful gift which you have shared with all of us~”thank you”! God Bless you and your family! May you have a blessed and joyful holiday season! ~Christie

An exquisite and unique book about the lives of ordinary humans and the movements of their hearts . . .there are many books about saints and the lives of holy men and women, but this one is special, deserving a place on your coffee table or bedside table. But don't just look at it! Pick it up and reflect on the lives of these Humans of Heaven.
Amanda T.
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.
Emily D.
I bought it mostly because I knew Michelle Duppong—but there are so many beautiful stories and photos in there! But it did bring tears to my eyes seeing her photos in there.
My kids also love flipping through it! Definitely a beautiful and inspiring book to keep in our home.
Annie N.
Lovely book. So great to meet modern saints in a beautifully published book.
Sarah O.
I love this book and am telling everyone to read it
Margaret F.
This book is so beautiful that when I need to send a special gift to someone, I think of Humans of Heaven. It tells the stories of amazing people, some of whom are recent holy heroes of the 20th and early 21st centuries. We need to know them! Reading about these men and women fills me with hope.
Emma G.
A beautiful book - both content and presentation. I love having it on my coffee table. A conversation starter for sure
Clare D.
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.
Keiva R.
This book is beautiful! So many stories, some familiar and some new. The photos are amazing and bring a livelihood to the saints. It stays in our living room and has been a topic of conversation multiple times.
Natalie L.
Thank you for your beautiful work!

I purchased four copies for gifts. I saw the book “Humans of Heaven” at a friend’s house and fell in love with it! It is so beautifully done and tastefully presented! I was blown away when I received the books in the mail because they were so gorgeously packaged and everything so artistic! LOVELY!!!

Gorgeous!
Laura B.
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.
Morgan F.
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.
A beautiful book that brings you closer to the saints through gorgeous photographs, biographies and quotes. High quality binding and sturdy enough to withstand little hands flipping through :)
Jordan B.
I love the book and can't wait to give it to my mom!
Staci H.
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.
Ann M.
Thank you for this book! It has brought me to tears on their love for our Lord. Such a beautiful book!

To share beauty about Beauty in a beautiful way is as good as it gets. Jane has such a gift, I’m so grateful it’s in homes around the world! All you saints in Heaven, pray for us!
Chelsea P.
The book is stunning! I feel like I'm reading about the stories of family members. Jana has a way of really bringing the Saints to life. I'll treasure this for years.
Mary F.
Such a joy to work with Jana and absolutely love this book! Purchased for all of our godchildren! Great gift!
Vicki C.
This book is beautifully created. My kiddos love that there are real photographs of their saintly friends. This book is a blessing!
Courtney S.
This book is so beautiful and so thoughtfully laid out. Thank you, Jana, for the encouragement to continually strive for sainthood by helping us to become friends with these men and women who have already finished the race! What a gift this book is to us (and to the church)! Thank you.
Lauren W.
The Humans of Heaven is a beautifully designed book and each story fills me with joy, awe, and inspiration. It has been a gift to read about these incredible humans and their Sainthood!
Annette A.
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.
What a beautiful book!!! We love the unique photos that are used for some of the saints.
Grace M.
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 ❤️
Sarah A.
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.
Sarah A.
Colette T.
This is the coolest book ever. So well laid out and written. I highly recommended it.
Veronica B.
I really enjoy the simplicity and beautiful quality of the hardcover. I leave it on my coffee table in the living room for the most part and several friends have been curious about it and have looked through it. I like that it sparks curiosity to look through it ❤️ Thank you for this wonderful book!
