I am 16 years old and in love with God. This book was such an amazing inspiration to me in my spiritual life that now I want to do so much more for the Lord. If these little Saints could have so much faith and trust in God so as to give their very lives for Him, I can at least be a Saint for Him! A must-read for anyone seeking holiness.

(...)Many Sunday School classes have fallen into debates on what Jesus meant by the words we must become as little children to see the Kingdom. Perhaps He was thinking of such children as those recounted in this book. The brief time on Earth these little ones spent only sharpened the impact of their lives of devotion and love. Their lives are ones to inspire readers as they learn of the goodness exhibited by these children, often in the face of terrible pain and suffering. Even Protestants might find a pearl to cling to in times of trial. (...)

I bought this book when my friend started a weekly meeting on Saints from the book. The children are asked to read about a saint each week and then everyone discusses. I read the stories with my children and they are very inspiring. I recommennd this book to everyone.

As usual this is a great Ann Ball books with pictures and stories of modern day saints, many of them not canonized. Many photos. She does a great job.
