Fascinating book!

In Steven Soras newest book, he details the history and traditions behind the most important relics religion has to offer. "Treasures from Heaven" reads like a non-fiction indiana jones tale, it describes the history as well as the modern day search efforts for items such as Noahs Ark, the stories behind the Spear of Destiny, as well as the miracles associated with many relics of the church. From bleeding statues, miraculous healings, to pious priests whose corpses refuse to decompose, this book has it all. Treasures includes many of the most famous relics in addition to some lesser known items, all of which are truly fascinating. I highly recomend this book to everyone! Five stars!
