[John Angerer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is simply a book of prayers from famous Christians from our past. I only have it 4 stars because it narrowed the field of prayer to only saints of the Roman Catholic Church. The translations of the prayers and short biographical sketches of each saint are enlightening and worth the book.

[Harrison Francis · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was helpful to have a brief overview of so many saints but I'm not sure its a very important or necessary book. I will certainly revisit some of these prayers but it doesn't feel like this book should have been published. It has maybe 10 pages of original content if consolidated.

Not bad
