Miracles? They still happen.
As sophisticated and technological as our culture has become, many people, both young and old, still yearn for stories, parables, and the world of the symbolic. You can almost feel the warmth of the fire and sense the wide-eyed wonder of a child listening to this extraordinary collection of powerful and imaginative tales.
Stories of Yesterday — Marvellous tales of faith told to the author by pilgrims who asked shelter for the night in the homes of old Russia, when pilgrimages of prayer, fasting, hospitality and hardship molded generations of peoples in the faith that worked miracles.
Stories of Eternity — The fruits of Catherine Doherty's powerful imagination, these “How Stories” symbolize the eternal truths of the spiritual life. Her personification of virtues, vices, death and life sparkle with her great love of God and man, and give witness to her deep spirituality.

About the Author
Catherine Doherty used her heritage as a Russian Christian as a matrix for responding to the needs of Christian life and work in the modern world. Her own personal pilgrimage led her to be “poor with the poor Christ” in the slums of Toronto and in Harlem; and later to the establishing of the world-wide Madonna House Apostolate. A dedicated wife and mother, Catherine was also a prolific writer of hundreds of articles, a best-selling author of dozens of books, a renowned national speaker, and a pioneer of social justice. Catherine Doherty's cause for canonization as a saint is now under consideration by the Catholic Church.
