3.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary woman reveals an extraordinary priest, April 12, 1999

By 

[e-mail] Jean Hampton (The Green Mountain State) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stories of Padre Pio (Paperback)

Those who are interested in Padre Pio will both enjoy and be inspired by this book. The 20 well written chapters depict a uniquely powerful and soulful priest, one who seemed to have the rare power of reading another's deepest feelings and conflicts. To his confessors his sometimes brutally frank and brusque advice seldom missed its mark. The book also contains an arresting epilogue about Padre Pio's last days and hours. Following this is a fascinating account of the life of Madame Tangari, the spiritual daugher of Padre Pio throughout much of her life, and a woman who lived a life of great faith and bravery. If you wish to be deeply inspired by profound stories of Christian faith , I hope you will read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true Saint, April 17, 2006

This review is from: Stories of Padre Pio (Paperback)

My father gave me this book in 1998 as a gift. I couldn't put it down I finished it in one evening. My family and I have been followers of Padre Pio since my mother heard a talk given at her school in the 1950's. I have read seven books about Padre Pio and this book is still my favorite one of the seven.

Madame Katharina Tangari was so brave and a true follower of Padre Pio. I hope someone writes a book and a movie about Madame Katharina Tangari's life. If you want to learn about Padre Pio's struggles and road to Sainthood this is the book for you.

After you read this book you will want to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy and see where Padre Pio lived and died. A year in a half ago I went to San Giovanni Rotondo and I was not disappointed.

This review is from: Stories of Padre Pio (Paperback)

Shows how Padre Pio healed bodies, souls and hearts--through miracles, providential "coincidences," etc. Assistance in illness, bereavement, broken marriage, irrational fear, business, exiting Freemasonry, finding lost objects, spiritual life and conversions. Rare firsthand view of this great, holy priest.
