Reviews

[Jenn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was actually more enjoyable than I thought it would be. I thought that I might only relate to a few of the kinds of suffering, but there's actually wisdom to be found on each page, as well and great insights into the lives of many saints.

[Karen]

offers incredible insight into the sufferings and trials of people fiercely devoted to God.

In this book a wide range of problems are examined along with a saint who had the same issue. You can see how that Saint handled the issue. It is a good reference book.
