I am amazed that with all the proof the Church had; they treated him more like a criminal than a man of peace and faith. This book makes me wonder what other people have this beautiful blessing from heaven that are still here on earth and how the Church is treating them. Maybe the Church (yes; I am a very devoted Catholic) needs to look on its own backyard before picking apart the others who God has blessed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Robert WilliamsGood stuff2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A man of Immense suffering.By DeeI read this book in two days. I couldn't image anyone suffering so much; yet continued to give and give. That's who Padre Pio was; a man of suffering; but had a complete dedication to Our Lord in serving his people. I had read another biography of Padre Pio; which I also found inspiring; informative and moving; but I gave it away; now years later I wanted to reread his story so purchased this book; with great satisfaction.
