This is enriching and inspiring collection!

Author Matthew Archbold shares 18 stories of men, women and children serving God and us by their courage in professing the faith. Their faith is shown in many circumstances of the modern life - from real death threats (or even real killings) to simply staying their grounds in the good fight (and the professional and medial threats are scary, too). I have benn very much inspired!
All the stories have something to say to its reader (probably according to their situation in life) and the values they are showing can back you up in the everyday (or oxtraordinary) decisions to life your faith. I was very much inspired by the stories of Fr. Mychal Judge and Jill Stanek amongst the others.
I think that this inspiring book ashould be read within Christian communities (and non-believers, as well) to show how Christians care - for the others and for their values.

Most stories are of Catholic background - any every one of them is of Christian background.

To offer a small piece of critique, too - some slightly political aspects (like the style of the public/political fights) do not sit with me well. But I am not American, so it might be both my European background and the European style of writing I am surrounded with that might be responsible for this slight discomfort.
