I wish to thank the Lord for having given us dear Padre Pio, for having given him to our generation in this very tormented century. In his love for God and for his brothers and sisters, he is a sign of great hope. - Pope John Paul II
Diane Allen offers more wonderful stories about this extraordinary modern day mystic in this follow up to her first book. It is a long read at 500 pages and I enjoyed book 1 more than this one, but would highly recommend both.
One of the best religious books out there (as well as Part One of Pray, Hope and Don't worry)! It's written well, so as to make it a very easy read. The book is compiled of stories from various people who had an interaction with Padre Pio, and every single one is fascinating! Highly recommend this book!
The first and second volumes of this book enlighted me immensly about this Saint of whom I had never knew of, the audible versions are highly recommended as well, both by same narrator, you WILL love these books if you know little or nothing about this saint or already have a devotion to him. Enjoy
This is the second book of the series that captures the beautiful intercession and aide given God through St. Pio to those in need. Many stories made me cry... All of the stories built faith and adoration. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand St. Pio... And even more, understand God's work in all that is around us.
Yet more stories... chapter centering on different people, letters received, and on certain subjects, plus a few prayers at the end. Having another volume of Padre Pio stories doesn't feel like too much, and the stories are interesting, so if you liked the first part you'll like this (or if this is the reader's first, the other one is just as good).
