Wings For the Soul: Madonna Stories to Celebrate its 125th year is a thoughtful and inspiring book of editorials—a tribute to all the Jesuit editors of Madonna magazine. Chris is one of the best-read columnists in the last 20 years with much-requested articles of life through a christian approach and looking at that in the daily and seasonal basis. This book of editorials is a grateful tribute to all the Jesuit Editors of Madonna magazine, full-time and part-time, and their Associate editors who have put it together with great vision and colour over the 125-year journey. It’s timely collection that will continue to give inspiration to people’s life of faith.
