This book lives up to its editorial review! Even though the book is directed to young adults, it has value for all adults. Each chapter contains touching and beautiful stories of simple and complex love of God and Church. Each author was honest and direct about his/her journey in faith. Their experiences brought back wonderful, as well as, difficult memories of my own. You don't have to be Catholic to enjoy this book. The format makes it an excellent book for busy people, because the chapters are short and nothing is lost if you have to set the book aside for awhile; you can easily pick it up again later.

It may be difficult to be Catholic nowadays, but this collection of accounts by some well-known people, including authors, sports figures and celebrities, gives us an idea of why and how in the face of some discouraging events, these people remained Catholic.
Some well-known Catholics in this collection are New York Giants tight end Mark Bavaro, race car driver Mario Andretti, Kennedy family members Maria Shriver and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, and novelists William X. Kienzle and Fr. Andrew Greeley.
