4.0 out of 5 stars San Pio, August 5, 2002
This review is from: Padre Pio: A Man of Hope (Paperback)
I have read quite a few books on Padre Pio. I found this one to be among the best and very easy to read. Plus it is in English! I became somewhat fascinated by everything surrounding this humble monk. I think Allegri does a great job with this biography and recommend it to anyone interested in Padre Pio (now San Pio). He has some terrific chapters on the conversions of many people. People who were not religious at all were completely converted to Christianity by this man and Allegri tells some terrific stories about there conversions. He also gives specific names of people who were the benefactors of Padre Pio's many miracles. These names include people who were royalty, politicians, wealthy, poor, and even many Italian celebrities. Padre Pio was and is an unbelievable human being and since he is so close to our time one can not help but have an interest in him. There are not a lot of books written on Padre Pio (yet) and of those written you will find this one to be among the best. One criticism is that in this edition there are no photos except the one on the cover. If you visit Pietrelcina (Padre Pio's hometown) they have a very good biography of him available at the Padre Pio museum and it contains some very nice photos. You won't be able to purchase it anywhere but at the museum though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked, October 15, 2000
This review is from: Padre Pio: A Man of Hope (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. The whole time I read it, I was overcome with thoughts of Padre Pio throughout my day. The book was beautifully written. It made me cry and it made me laugh. I have nothing but pure admiration and adoration for this man. What a life he lead. If you have any interest in learning about Padre Pio, please read this book. You will not be sorry you did. And somehow it humbles you and brings you a feeling of peace. A++

5.0 out of 5 stars A LIFE-CHANGING BOOK!, October 1, 2005
This review is from: Padre Pio: A Man of Hope (Paperback)
Reading this book has been one of the most beautiful gifts that a human being
can receive. I was delighted reading it from the beginning to the end. The whole time I read it, I was overcome with thoughts of Padre Pio throughout my day. The book was beautifully written. It made me cry and it made me laugh. Padre Pio is the most loving man, priest, a true holy and faithful follower of Jesus Christ. What a life Padre Pio lead. It is amazing the relationship he had with Jesus and Mary, even with his Angels. Reading this book has been a healing, a transformation, and kind of a retreat for me, allowing me to see life with true faith, hope and love. Somehow it humbles you and brings you a feeling of peace; I even felt Padre Pio's presence while I read this book. Renzo Allegri deserves the Nobel prize for having taking the time to accomplished all the documents and information to write this wonderful book. Indeed he did a great favor to those who want to learn from Padre Pio. You will not be sorry to read this book. This book changed my life.
