Succinct, yet meaningful; spontaneous, yet profound, the words of the saints specifically their impromptu conversations with contemporaries are a rich, but often overlooked, resource for spiritual enlightenment. Almost comprising a fifth Gospel, these dialogues convey in penetrating clarity Gods message of salvation for all humankind. An authentic collection of beautiful and inspiring statements, this book delves into the lives and words of 52 saints with an eye for detail and historical accuracy. Paperback
It's true that this book is very succinct and to the point, and I love how each Saint or Blessed's story is related to real-life application. Most I had never heard of, so I appreciated having a mix of "family-favorite" saints and those that are overlooked. This book was great to read by the pool over a few hours and was even relatable to some non-believing friends. I only wish St. Faustina Kowalska had been included as her conversations were of utmost importance!
