Ghezzi excels at combining concise, fast-paced biographical sketches with carefully selected, illustrative anecdotes that show the mystics’ faith in action. Yet it’s his personal, sometimes bracingly candid, reflections on the impact the mystics have made on his own life that set this volume apart from others of its kind.

Although many of the mystics examined will be familiar to many, Ghezzi does manage to offer some new and interesting insights into their lives and times.
