[Maggie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book. It contained short, narrative biographies of 10 Christians, most of them Canonized or in the process by 2019. The stories were moving and provided a variety of topics for reflection. Only reason I didn't love this book was that several of the Christians that were chosen for inclusion are so well known already it might have been nicer to have lesser known Christians included for expansion of knowledge.
