This book is a comprehensive treatment of the historical and spiritual aspects of Opus Dei — as well as a look at the fascinating life of St. Josemaría Escrivá. Peter Berglar spent over a year exploring the Opus Dei archives; he also conducted interviews and carried on extensive correspondence with St. Josemaría’s closest associates (including his successors, Bishops Alvaro del Portillo and Javier Echevarría). Opus Dei’s mission makes this more than just a historical book: it’s a challenge to all Christians to live their Faith more fully.

This review is from: Opus Dei: Life and Work of Its Founder Josemaria Escriva (Hardcover)
Deep and intelligent. Not only anecdotical. Historical perspective very interesting. results very easy to understand the reason for the popes of the catholic church sponsorizes the personal prelature of opus dei: it serves people to sanctify and makes the christian life at hand.
