A Marvelous Cast of Characters in Padre Pio's Life!

Another "Father Brown" pursuing the mysteries and recipients of Padre Pio miracles and cures. These interviews and firsthand accounts will stun you into a certainty and love of Padre Pio's endlessly mysterious ways. Especially interesting is the interview with Father Joseph Pius Martin, the American who, as a traveling young Bill Martin, made a casual visit to see Padre Pio, was drawn back there a second time and was asked by Padre Pio to stay...He became a popular priest for the English-speaking pilgrims, and stayed the rest of his life.
