Publisher's summary

This colorful memoir offers a rare, up-close glimpse of the life and personality of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, the beloved Italian monk who was blessed with extraordinary gifts.

The late Fr. Amorth—well-known as an exorcist —enjoyed over two decades of a close friendship with the holy, quirky Padre Pio, whom he considered his spiritual father. Adding his own personal experience to a foundation of biographical research, Amorth gives an entertaining and illuminating account of perhaps one of the best-known saints of the twentieth century.

In this book, we span from Padre Pio's childhood—where he cured himself of a disease by wolfing down all his mother's fried bell peppers—to his miracle-filled priesthood, to his Italian gift for mimicry, humor, and storytelling.

Rather than a plaster image of a saint, this book is a portrait of a fully human kind of holiness, proof that even the most astonishing graces can be lived out with simplicity and joy.

Great Book

The book is great. It's got a personal touch as it is written by a friend of the saint. Good intro to Padre for someone like me who's just learning about him.
The voice actor's constant switching to an exaggerated Italian accent for any Italian name, place, or quote by Padre is distracting rather than helpful and breaks up the flow. He also gave a weird, kind of ominous voice to Jesus. Could have done without that, but other than that it's good.

Venerable Padre Pio Pay for Us

This book changed my life for the better, forever. This modern day Saint is much needed today. He is a blessed example of an Earth Angel.

A good condensed biography of Padre Pio

Well, there are a number of very long texts about his life, this book by someone who knew him is just about the right length and time for someone to get an idea of the sainted Franciscan life

Makes you realize how much the Church has been watered down. It is a must read.
