Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"Frossard really captures the life and love of Saint Maximilian. Here was a true saint aglow with grace yet tough as nails, just like we need today. Read this and prepare to rekindle a holy passion for the divine grace to live the daily grind."

-Scott Hahn, University of Steubenville

"Despite my familiarity with the facts I found it impossible to put this book down. Frossard blends literary skill with scholarship and emotional impact to recount one of the greatest lives of the 20th century. Religious biography at its best!"

-Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R. , Author, The Reform of Renewal
