Review from the Publisher

"I'm going to see Father Prior about this!" sputtered one of the priests, as they all gazed into the chapel. There was Brother John Masias devoutly praying - several feet off the floor! "There is no need for these acrobatics!" continued the speakr. What would happen now? What would the Prior say? This book gives the answer and describes the other remarkable events in the life of St. John Masias.
