Excellent Book

I happened upon this book while on retreat, and I bought my own copy as soon as I got home! It is a great book for getting the concise story of the saint. It includes many quotes and facts presented in a readable story of his life. I love it! Now I'm reading it to my family a few chapters at a time at Sunday breakfast and they love it too! (The chapters only take about 5 minutes to read) What a great way to get to know a great saint, especially during the year of the priest.
