Customer Reviews

Gorgeous, reverent, prayerful

I'm SO glad I bought this book! The art work is beautiful, the prayers are simple and eloquent and the brief biographies of the saints as well as the descriptions of the angels are inspiring. I'm particularly pleased that my all time favorite saint, Saint Rita of Cascia is included in the line up of saints. The book is a quick read, if reading is all you want to do with it, but I find myself returning again and again to look at the pictures, do a quick meditation on a Saint or angel or to just say a short prayer, thanking God for giving us all these wonderful guides. I'm pretty sure that God will abundantly bless the authors of this book.

Heavenly

This book is so beautiful to look at, to touch, to read and reap. I have witnessed the Power or Prayer and of these Grace filled Novenas. God Bless the Angels and the Saints who give Glory to God when we ask for their intercession. We should be praying constantly; this book gets us ever closer to our goal, our God.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BOOK!!!

I am 10 years old. I was looking around a Book store when I saw this beautiful book. I read it with my mom, we found it extremely interesting and amazing. We bought it and we love it. I have learned a lot from this book. This book is very interesting. It is very spiritual. My favorite chapter is about Saint Michael the Archangel. There are 36 Saints, angels and prayers to the madonna. Great job on the book.

TRULY BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL BOOK

This book is breathtaking in its sheer beauty. It was given to me by a friend who noticed it in the "spiritual section" of a large bookstore, but I would definitely have put it in "Noteworthy New Releases" and the "Art Section". It's beautiful to the eye, not only for its images of the Personas, but also for its overall design-- the whole impact is that of well-rounded beauty. The writing also excels. Each accompanying article flows delightfully and is full of interesting and inspiring information. I feel the need to caution, that this is not a book only for Catholics. Its tone and intent of eclectic spirituality is distinctly put forth in the introduction and well executed throughout. It will be a joy to anyone with an eye for beauty, any degree of spiritual bent,and/or the slightest inkling or hope of the the remotest possiblity of the potentiality for a miracle.
