These stories involve the search for God by persons in various conditions from sinners to those who desire a deeper relationship with God. In them bad people are being converted and good people are growing towards union with God. Two are fantasies that might appeal to young people. Two feature prostitutes who experience God and a change of heart. One shows the sanctity of marriage. The feature story is the martyrdom of a newly married woman serving in Latin America, the conversion of her husband and his subsequent martyrdom. All the stories should inspire the readers to try to emulate the characters in their hope and to grow in love for God and neighbor. As St. Augustine said to himself after reading about the early martyrs, "They were able to do it, so can you."
