The problem with some of the “Chicken Soup” books is that some of them seem to be an attempt to milk every dollar out of the initial success of the original book, at the expense of quality content. This is not the case with the “Living the Catholic Faith” version. To paraphrase Mark Twain, I can live for two weeks on one good vignette. Many of the inspirational stories in this book stay with you over time. One particular favorite is “The Holiday Lottery from Heaven.” In a brief story, the author manages to let the reader fall in love with this family. Even stronger than the lottery outcome, the authentic family ties make this story so compelling. I think this book is a must-have for every Adoration chapel reading collection, Catholic middle school and high school library, and Catholic home. Of course, non-Catholics will enjoy these stories as well. Far from a watered-down soup, this one is quite hearty.

I suppose I'm partial being one of the author's, but these stories really brought back and enriched my Catholic Faith. The stories about Catholic school brought back memories. While others reinforced the love and belief of my faith. I hope your hearts and souls will become as fullfilled as mine when you read these beautiful stories.

As you may know, some of the “NEW” chicken soup books are recycled stories garnered from other chicken soup books. And the book is a pure rip off! However, this particular book consisted of stories that were refreshingly NEW. As an avid Chicken Soup fan, I give it a thumbs up! However, WATCH out for the new titles with 101 stories. They are recycled from other books and if you have a full collection, you are just buying the same thing TWICE!
