Customer Reviews

Great selections from Fr. Arrupe!

This collection of writings from Pedro Arrupe captures the spirit of the saintly man. His personal account of living through the bombing of Hiroshima on the feast of the Transfiguration is stunning. The book offers much for meditation and prayer.
