Padre Pio: The True Story

This is a great book. If you love or have a devotion to St. Pio this is a must read. It is very extensive and detailed. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style. It definitely helped me build a firmer faith in the Lord.

A must-read book if you love Padre Pio.

Wonderful book. Detailed biography. Honest and surprisingly so. The author made Padre Pio a very human and vulnerable, at times, saint. Loved the author’s inclusion of the facts regarding the Rome church in the early 1900’s. That too was a surprise. Naive me: nefarious and wicked deeds have been a part of that institution for quite some time. It did not detract from the biography nor was the portrayal unfair. It was merely frank; showing where, humans are involved, it can be a dicey venture. This applies, broadly, to each and every organization across the world. That said, the Catholic Church was not singled out. Its majesty and potential for goodness remained in tact.

I bought 3 copies to pass on. One of the most inspiration stories I’ve ever read.

A great teacher look and listen and hear and you can hear him talk to you

This is lengthy and highly detailed looking at the life of an extraordinary person. My wife and I read this aloud to each other. We often pause to discuss the way the “invisible world” intersects with our daily life. Not for everyone- but good for us. Padre Pio was an extreme contemplative who invites people to consider radical Christ-centered discipleship.

It’s hard to put my thoughts in words because how amazing he is.

I’ve always wanted to read a biography of Saint Padre Pio. This book was such a good read. The author did a good research and presented the facts clearly and identifying the ones that might be considered legends. After reading this, I thought could God really favour someone so much with graces that he could easily perform miracles? Well, with God anything is possible. Padre Pio was such a humble servant that the Holy Spirit was always at work through him because of his openness to receiving the graces and his readiness to do the will of God. I have grown so fond of Padre Pio after reading this good book.

Excelente livro. A edição no entanto é um pouco frágil. Mesmo sendo brochura, a capa poderia ser mais resistente. No entanto, a qualidade do livro compensa.

I first bought the Padre Pio book: Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry, and was so inspired by it that I wanted to read more about this wonderful Saint. This book goes into a lot more detail about this wonderful Saint - his life, experiences and his precious spiritual gifts. Wonderful book!!

I am writing a review after many months infact.the book content is good but book was received in torn condition.

Good for spiritual life.

Very nice book
