Padre Pio:A Man of Hope by Renzo Allegri was written by a prize-winning journalist and author who was personally acquainted with Padre Pio. He tells the saint's life story in a popular, easy-to-read style.
Beatified on May 22, 1999, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) was a Capuchin monk and mystic whose life was marked with miracles and wonders, but who said that his only desire was "to be a poor friar who prays." Observes the author: "When people write about Padre Pio, they tend to dwell on the penitential aspect of his life, thereby giving a somewhat dark and medieval tinge to his personality.... Padre Pio was and is a man of hope. Throughout his life, in the midst of the most difficult trials, he always looked to the future with a spirit of optimism, faith, and love."
In Padre Pio:A Man of Hope by Renzo Allegri, you will see the results of this humble Capuchin's prayers and discover for yourself the Source of his great hope.
Padre Pio:A Man of Hope by Renzo Allegri is a Servant Book.
