the art is impeccable... the contents were like chicken soup for the soul but some of the people discussed didn't age well like lance Armstrong and mother Theresa lol ... I guess I can't fault the compiler hahaha

This is a book of stories about people many of us know of such as Dwight Moody, Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, Theodore Roosevelt, Jim Elliot, Sam Walton and others, accompanied by paintings of Norman Rockwell. They are truly heart warming as the title declares!
