Roses for a Friend

Description:

A treasury of stories about spiritual figures of the past. It includes well known figures like Joan of Arc and Francis of Assisi. The stories are written (supposedly) by someone who knew them well- a fictional device that enables you to get behind the character, and understand them better. The story about Bernadette of Lourdes is guaranteed to make you cry.
