I loved this book. I bought it because I'd read a couple of the stories on the spiritual dialogues website & found them inspiring. The book surpassed all my expectations. If you want inspiration for your life's journey, definitely read this book.

I've never read anything quite like The Would Be Saint. It's an amazing collection of stories about an every day person with a not-so-everyday dream: to become a saint. Raised a Catholic, the author later turned to Eastern meditative practices, and devoted herself so completely to her search for God, that God began speaking back through a series of profound mystical experiences.
Each essay in this book takes you on a journey of spiritual awakening, and I mean this quite literally. For some reason, ... Read More
