The Grunt Padre 26 reviews
Daniel L. Mode
CMJ Marian Publishers, 2003
A beautiful and holy man of God.
I saw the documentary of Fr Vincent Capadano and tears came from my eyes. Something that never or rarely happens in my life. I now have to re read the book again.

Patricia Treece
Charis Books, 2001
Overcome Doubt
Many Christians find themselves doubting just when they least want to, i.e. during tragic times. Nothing could help you more than reading about these authenticated researched apparitions of the saints to those on earth.

Padre Pio: A Man of Hope13 reviews
Renzo Allegri
Charis Books, 2000
A LIFE-CHANGING BOOK!
Reading this book has been one of the most beautiful gifts that a human being
can receive. I was delighted reading it from the beginning to the end. The whole time I read it, I was overcome with thoughts of Padre Pio throughout my day. The book was beautifully written. It made me cry and it made me laugh. Padre Pio is the most loving man, priest, a true holy and faithful follower of Jesus ...

Tales of the Alhambra7 reviews
Washington Irving
Editorial Padre SuaÌrez, 1960
A Classic Written by an American Classical Author!
This wonderful book written by a well-loved American author details his travels in Spain, and more specifically in the Castle Alhambra. These tales are delightful, and seemlessly weave from fact to fiction to history to folklore. It is a true travel log, done oh so many years ago, and done with Irving's whimcical and enchanting style. The sketches give a good description of Spain and travel in ...

The Church's Most Powerful Novenas10 reviews
Michael Dubruiel
Our Sunday Visitor, 2006
A book to be treasured....
I was expecting the usual novena book and was wondering why I had ordered it when I already had so many. But as I thumbed through the book I was fascinated with each little story attached to the individual novenas. The foreward and introduction was fascinating as well because I was not all that familiar with the history of novenas. I enjoying reading how they progressed from prayers for the ...

Ama De Verdad, Vive De Verdad23 reviews
Berkley, 2007
My Review
Excellent book. So sorry the publisher chose Amazon. com to market it. They are thieves. I ordered 5 books. One came and four never arrived. They won't even credit my account for the missing books because they were being shipped from Orchard Books. I don't have any way of contacting Orchard Books and it isn't my responsibility to do so. Amazon took the money. They should return it if they ...

Padre Pio: The True Story32 reviews
Bernard C. Ruffin
Our Sunday Visitor, 1991
Perhaps the Best Book on St. Padre Pio!
This is possibly the best book currently on the life of St. Padre Pio. It is very well researched and well written that you honestly get a true glimpse of the man in my opinion.
The book was written by a non-Catholic which can dispel some people's fears that the book is a fanatical work to boost the Padre Pio simply because of his faith.
After reading this book there is little way anyone ...

God's Doorkeepers: Padre Pio, Solanus Casey And Andre Bessette5 reviews
Joel Schorn
Servant Publications, 2006
Models of Holiness
Blessed Brother André Bessette (1845 - 1937), Venerable Solanus Casey (1870-1957), and St. Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) are the doorkeepers of the title, so named because they spent their lives in humble service, Casey and Bessette as actual porters in their monasteries and Pio as spiritual doorkeeper at the confessional. All three were born into devout, poor families, were pious even as ...

Padre Pio: An Intimate Portrait of a Saint through the Eyes of His Friends5 reviews
Kathleen Stauffer
Twenty-Third Publications, 2007
Perfect Read & Gift
I was amazed at what Kathleen Stauffer was able to accomplish with this one slim book. Care and attention are given to every aspect of Padre Pio's life, and in the most engaging ways, through stories by the people who knew him well and loved him. What I like best is that the focus is not always on Saint Pio's stigmata and many miracles, although they are certainly not ignored, but on the ...

With clear, precise, telling strokes, Treece makes us see, and feel, who Padre Pio was and how he lived according to the divine light that infused his whole being.

Look Out Below! A Story of the Airborne by a Paratrooper Padre4 reviews
Francis L. Sampson
101st Airborne Division Association, 1989
Paratrooper Padre
This book is a must-read for every American who values his freedom and who realizes that it depends on the brave sacrifices of others. When Steven Spielberg produced Saving Pvt Ryan, he unfortunately left out critical parts of this true story. It was the brave Catholic Chaplain Francis Sampson who actually did the dangerous job of Saving Pvt Ryan. Fr. Sampson was the chaplain to whom Fritz Niland ...

Arcadia Publishing, 2004
A Fun History Of San Diego Baseball
Bill once again shows his stuff as San Diego's premier baseball historian. With great photos and lively commentary, Bill paints a picture of nearly 70 years of baseball in America's Finest City.

The Holy Man on the Mountain: Padre Pio and the Americans who Discovered Him4 reviews
Frank Rega
Aventine Press, 2004
The Padre Pio Book I Have Been Waiting For!
Frank Rega has gathered in one book all the stories--many never before told--of the first Americans, especially GIs, who discovered Padre Pio early on, at a time when you could still get near him, speak to him, kiss his gloved hand. I met Padre Pio briefly two years before he died. By then the world had begun to make inroads into this long forgotten mountain, and because of his age and frailty, ...

Praying in the Presence of Our Lord With St. Padre Pio (Praying in the Presence)4 reviews
Eileen Dunn Bertanzetti
Our Sunday Visitor, 2004
perfect for your holy hour
Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s I was part of a generation that got robbed of any kind of serious Catholic teaching. We learned a few basic prayers and had a nodding acquaintance with the sacraments but most of us spent relgion class making burlap banners and collages. I had only the vaugest notion of who Padre Pio was until I was grown and began reading about the Faith on my own.

To read this is to understand how a great Saint views the greatest of all saints. Essential. It also shows clearly Bl. Pio's intelligence, lucidity and utter lack of hysteria.

Elvira G. DiFabio
Pauline Books & Media, 2003
Great Book for your Journey in Faith!
This book is a wonderful read if you too struggle with leading a good Christian Life. This book gives you such a look into Padre Pio's deepest feelings, it opens a window for us to see that no one is alone in their struggles and many of the things Padre Pio spoke of in his letters, I have felt at one time. So this book is a wonderful read and just read a letter a day to see that there is hope in ...

Excellent teen western love story.
It's been years since I read this and I'm sad that it is out of print. It's a wonderful western mixed with innocent love and unselfishness.
