The Life of St. Catherine Of Siena by Blessed Raymond of Capua Book Review By Christine Calabrese

This book is light, funny, silly, and full of descriptions that you think are too long but really are not. Like watching a cute comedy! An old-fashioned drink or something you really enjoy. You want to sip it and read it slowly. |
