Religions nonfiction
I liked this book because Stewart broke down how to share the faith into 7 different categories and then within those categories he mentioned a few saints (all different) and how they were examples of that trait. The info didn't go into too much depth (since it is a short book) on each Saint but it gave enough info and interest that you could easily go look up more if one of them stuck out to you.
A lot of the Saints mentioned were ones that I either knew but not overly so, or had minimal knowlege of, so it made for an interesting read.
