Saint Joseph, My Real Estate Agent: Why the Patron Saint of Home Life is the Patron Saint of Home-Selling
by Stephen J. Binz
$6.99 Paperback

Hundreds of thousands of people, including the author, have sold their homes under the patronage of St. Joseph, whose intercession they sought after burying his statue in their yard. The author takes a personal, humorous, light, and loving look at Joseph, depicting his life as a husband and father, home-builder, and carpenter. He shows that the popular statue-burying practice is not a superstition but part of a prayerful devotion. He also provides prayer services for selling a house and blessing a new home.
