Beautiful to look through and to read

This is truly a beautiful book whether you have seen the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis or not. It works well as either a coffee table book to glance through or as a vibrant living history to read. The chapters are laid out by decade which showcases how the building, the people, and the city have changed through the century. It is also fascinating to see and read how religous faith has adapted over the years, yet simultaneously people's reliance upon their faith is just as strong. This is a beautiful book full of unbelievable photos, inspiring stories and unusual antedotes, all which show the life and vitality of this historic building.
