Saint Faustina received the message of Divine Mercy and passed it on using many methods. First, she recorded information about the message in her Diary, which became available for all to read. She also spread the message through prayer and sacrifice. Another method for spreading the message was through her conversations and other communications with others. However, Fr. George Kosicki has captured in a wonderful and effective way her most effective way of spreading the message of Divine Mercy-by her example. By living it!

I have read a few books on the life and mission of Saint Faustina. This book "Meet Saint Faustina" is a great book. But unlike others such as the biography "The life of Faustina Kowalska", this one is pretty bare bones. It has a general overview of each part of her young life, but never goes into great detail. It's great for references, or a simple, quick journey with one of the most Beloved Saints of our time without being too heavy of a read. But for those who wish to learn in detail the life of this beautiful soul, should check out her biography "The life of Faustina Kowalska".
I try to buy any and all books about Saint Faustina, and I am glad that this is in my collection. It is also a "light" book for young adults who are interested. If you have read Saint Faustinas biography *as mentioned above* you do not need this book, unless you are like me and try to get anything/everything about Faustina.
As a side note, this book also makes correlations between Saint Faustina's spirituality and eastern teachings, which is not seen in other books about this Saint. It's interesting, and adds to the mystery of her life and mission.
Great book for devoted followers of Faustina, and for those who want a "light" read of her life and mission.
Those that want to experience a more detailed story of her life should look for "The life of Faustina Kowalska".
