I learned a lot

This was a wonderful collection of powerful female saints. Each story was well told but I was left wanting more.with each story.

Powerful and inspirational. The only downside was lots of grammatical errors, but the message itself is wonderful!

[Stacy Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting accounts of some women saints, most of whom are uncorrupted in their death. The writing is very simplistic but still compelling nonetheless.
