As I am not Catholic, and merely picked up this book for the fun of it, as well as ideas for stories for my own writings, this book was not the great book of reminders of God’s amazing power that it would have been if I was Catholic.
After a while, the stories got kind of repetitive: person is unholy, gets saved in a dramatic moment, and BOOM! They’re perfect! Or they’re holy children who die young. Those are the two formulas for saints.
No disrespect intended to anyone who read this as a devotional or anything like that, but without the beliefs in the holiness of the saints, or without even saints in my denomination (Calvinist), this was merely a book like any other historical fiction book to me.… (altro)
