This book sounds fascinating, Eva! I love how you show us the inspiration/devotional thoughts that are ones everyone can be inspired by. I'm going to have to read this book! And yes - I've always thought of saints as friends, as role models, too. Thank you, Eva!

Although I'm not religious, I am fascinated by reading about different religions and beliefs. This sounds like a nice introduction to the Jesuits for me.
