Title: Saints That Moved the World
Description: It consists of five unique biographies - of  Saint Anthony,the saint of renunciation, Saint Augustine, the saint of the intellect, Saint Francis, the saint of love, Saint Ignatius, the saint of will power and Saint Theresa, the saint of ecstasy. Those of Saint Anthony, Saint Francis and Saint Theresa I found the most vivid. Particularly with Saint Francis, the reader feels as if he is following him through all the experiences related. It comes across as very authentic. Those who are serious about their spiritual path would probably find this sensitively and thoughtfully written book very insightful and inspiring.
