Reading this book a little at a time is best for me. Each story/chapter speaks to a subject which requires reflection. Why? Because each character presented is an individual, a believeable person, someone you would like to meet, question, interview, or simply listen to their voice. Very good reading format. Great intro to each story. Excellent commentary for each character.

Love this, a Treasury Indeed!

As a "cradle Catholic," I grew up with some of these stories, but had forgotten many over the years...I recently found this book and it was like getting reacquainted with an old friend! The stories are very readable and engaging. I also purchased a copy of this book for my Godson, who will be confirmed in the faith this coming October. This book is a great find for anybody interested in learning more about some of the saints (ancient and more modern) which help to make up this wonderful tradition, the Church.
