The book is a good introduction to the life of Blessed Josemaria and the history of Opus Dei, which are inseparable. It is very readable and brings out his personality through many anecdotes. I enjoyed it.

Is a very goog description of what is the Opus Dei and its Founde

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.

This book is for people who want to know who St. Josemaría Escrivá really was, how he started the Opus Dei, and what he meant for the members of the first generation, all the important things in one handy book.
Of course, some Catholics don't understand this modern saint, but especially those should read what people say who really got to know him.

Easy read although they jump around explaining certain parts of his life. I love it and would recommend it to anyone.

Reading about the life of Bl. Escriva is definitely inspirational. A must read for those who seek to practice their faith in their ordinary lives.

Excellent Book, Very interesting and lost of historical facts. It is worth a look.

This book only shows one side of the coin. It makes "saint" Josemaria de Escriva look like an Idol. They idolatrize him. It never says the bad things this dirty man did. Its a shame how blind people are. There are some other good books about Opus Dei that show the good side and the bad sides of it.

The truth will set you free.

I lost a friend because of religious differences, he became a fanatic of Opus Dei, he was brainwashed. I keep praying for him.

If you pick up a book and the cover shows a person surrounded by a tacky aura of light, put it down immediately! False lighting is the same methodology used by supermarkets to sell ageing beef.
