Excellent, Touching Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Life of Blessed Margaret of Castello, 1287-1320 (Paperback)
This book was absolutely excellent! It is a very touching story of a holy woman named Margaret who was born a hunchback, midget, blind, lame, and unattractive. Her parents were afraid that people might find out about her daughter and locked her up for fourteen years. She was then abandoned by her parents. Her body today is incorrupt. A MUST READ!

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep; TRUE BEAUTY IS IN THE HEART!,
This review is from: The Life of Blessed Margaret of Castello, 1287-1320 (Paperback)
UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE!!By far, the story of Blessed Margaret of Castello is the best I have ever read! She was absolutely AMAZING! Her parents were of nobility. They were wealthy! They were also very proud, self-cented and vain. Ashamed of her "ugliness" and deformity, Margaret's parents had their little six year old daughter brought to a small room which was built for her, in order to keep her out of sight. The room was adjoined to the church Margaret loved. After being placed in the room, her father had the walls sealed up so, except for a small window where she could hear mass and adore the Blessed Sacrament. Now her parents would never have to worry about anyone finding out they had a deformed, blind and ugly daughter. Margaret was sealed up in that room for 14 years! She felt she was "unworthy" to suffer for the Lord in such a special way. But through all of that pain, she loved her parents very much and prayed for them constantly. Margaret's heart continued to magnify the Lord. After her isolation, Margaret's parents abandoned her in a church, far from her home, and she felt "guilty" that she was such a burden to them all of her life! She continued to pray for them and thank God for allowing her to follow in the Lord's Footsteps. This book is a MUST READ! I can't say enough about it. I've bought several copies just to give away to people who I know would be inspired by Little Margaret. All those with whom I shared this book, immediately fell in love with "God's Little Cinderella". Margaret's life proves to us just how valuable we really are in the Eyes of God. ATTENTION: PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, TEACHERS and RELIGOUS EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS! I strongly urge you to get this book for the children in your lives! Children have to be taught very early in life that Beauty is only skin deep, but TRUE BEAUTY IS IN THE HEART; in the SOUL. I recommend this book, second only, to the Four Gospels! Little Margaret's story makes one re-evaluate his/her perception of TRUE BEAUTY. There is much, much more to this story: Conversions, Healings, Miracles, etc. Please, do something very special for yourself and/or a loved one -- Meet Blessed Margaret of Castello. You won't regret it! This book is a wealth of Spiritual Treasure and at such a small price. Please don't let this one slip by you... God Bless you all!

What a heroic little woman!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Life of Blessed Margaret of Castello, 1287-1320 (Paperback)
What a heroic little woman, Margaret was. And what a page-turner the book is! Of course, I have nothing else to compare it to (no other biographies of hers or, obviously, personal knowledge). But, in its own rite, I'm not sure what to say other than that the book is very compellingly written. I read its 107 pages in two days and that's only because I started too late in the day to read it in one. Margaret is an awesome testimony to the power of faith and the beauty of redemptive suffering. Everyone needs to hear her story!
