Powerful Saints, Nice List!

This made my exploration of Catholic Classic writings very easy. I am not even Catholic but I devoured this book and the writings of the Catholic fathers and mothers.

very handy for guidance in reading Catholic spirituality

Great book. It covers 14 Catholic classics including St Francis, St Augustine, St John of the Cross, St Teresa of Avila, .......and gives about an 8 page summary of each. I can then go and read the full classic after knowing what I am in for so to speak. I find that some books that are good for some are not good for you and though I am positive that we all need to read these classics at some stage in our lives - spiritually we need to be ready for them, and by reading the summaries it has helped me to see which is speaking to my soul.
