After reading this book I know that I never want to be a nun. Well, OK, I never can be, but my eyes were opened to the life they live. This book contained the stories of 20 nuns that eventually were born again. Some of their stories were very interesting, a few were more like reading gospel tracts with verse after verse quoted. That is alright and I am sure it will serve a good purpose, but little was said of their actual life.

This book really helped me understand how the catholic faith works. It was very eye-opening. Actually, my rating is probably more like 3.5. And I know this is such a short review, It's just I don't really feel like saying much else about this book.

Praise the God of mercy and grace! Praise our Savior! Thank Him for His salvation! What beauty is in every story of a soul redeemed and life changed!
This book is beautiful because it is so full of truth. The Gospel in all its beautiful simplicity is clearly presented over and over. Each lady’s desire is for the reader to know the Savior as their own, so He is the focus. The false teachings of Rome are spoken of but only as they contrast with the Truth of God.
Even if you aren’t interested in the specifics of Catholic doctrine and only want a series of very beautiful testimonies, I would recommend this one. But if you are interested in the difference between Biblical salvation and Catholic doctrine this is a deeply personal way to see those differences. And most importantly, if you are searching for truth and forgiveness, these ladies will point out the way to you.
Read it and rejoice.

Dull, repetitive, and VERY preachy.
