[Anne Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an interesting book of the saints. Every month a virtue such as humility or charity was focused on. From there, we were told about how certain saints perfected these virtues. It definitely was an eye opener for me to read about the saints who did so many things for God in the most perfect way imaginable. These are examples of why we should look up to and admire what the saints were able to accomplish when they were here on earth.
