Book Description
The fascinating life story of Padre Pio, with emphasis on his life as a seminarian, young priest and his early years at San Giovanni Rotondo. From this small, remote mountain friary, he became world famous and exercised unbelievable influence on the entire world, though he was soon forbidden by his superiors to preach, to correspond or to write. Covers his early work with Mary Pyle, and with the American GIs who came to visit him during WWII when his part of Italy was liberated. Padre Pio developed a special love for America and Americans - to the point that he wished that all Americans would become his spiritual children. This book demonstrates his amazing sense of humor, his prayer and fasting, his uncanny knowledge of people (even before they visited), and his profound supernatural awareness. In sum, Padre Pio and America will instill a profound awe in readers over the impact a truly saintly priest can have on all who come into contact with him!

Book Description
"I'm a mystery to myself." With this simple admission, Padre Pio captured the feelings of many who knew him. In his latest work, Renzo Allegri, a journalist and writer, dispels some of this mystery with this unique and very human portrait of Padre Pio. It is a faithful description of an extraordinary person, a book that reads like a good novel. Beatified on May 22, 1999, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) was a Capuchin monk and mystic whose life was marked with miracles and wonders, but who said that his only desire was "to be a poor friar who prays."

Book Description
Adolfo Affatato is one of the last living spiritual sons of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. Recently translated into English, "Padre Pio and I" is the culmination of what he witnessed as he sat by the saint's side for sixteen years. This is not a typical biography by a journalist, friar, or academic; instead, the author presents "the Padre" intimately and personally -- as a father figure who tenderly guided and directed him. This book is filled with riveting new accounts of the mystical side of Padre Pio: from the moment Affatato was called by name by Padre Pio out of a crowd to Padre Pio's characteristic rose-scented fragrance Affatato does not disappoint. Yet, the author's motivation for writing this book is not to boast of supernatural phenomena he was privileged to witness. Instead, it is a response to what Padre Pio once told him some six decades ago: "Give the love that I have put into your heart to those to whom you draw near, because in this is the meaning of life." And Adolfo has spent his adult life responding to that mandate. While most octogenarians spend their final years in repose, Adolfo tirelessly traverses the Italian peninsula giving conferences to audiences of a few dozen or a few thousand. He has spoken to popes, cardinals and countesses and regularly appears on Catholic radio and secular prime-time talk shows alike. And he never accepts a cent for his work; all proceeds for his book sales are donated to a charity. Now for the first time what Adolfo received from Padre Pio is available in English. For those who want to know Padre Pio "more and better" this book is a must read. "This book has touched the heart of Italy; yet, it also touched me. This book can change your life." Andrea Bocelli

Book Description
Here is a sampling of just some of the amazing wonders you will read in this book: His first recorded miracle; causing unauthorized photos of himself to come up blank; miraculously preventing auto accidents; his involvement in near-death experiences; visits from souls in Purgatory; encounters with angels; reading peoples' thoughts and souls leading to the conversion of stubborn unbelievers; his appearance to a Pope in bilocation; some saw him crowned with thorns, others saw him looking like Jesus; it even seemed he could manipulate time; he predicted that he would work an Easter miracle; assisted an Anglican priest in his healing ministry after his own death; calling forth fire; he offers the praises of all creation to the creator; he experienced the pains of purgatory; cures of desperately and terminally ill persons, sometimes by appearing at their bedside in bilocation; the power of his relics. His supernatural gifts are many and profound, and as you will see, some of them cannot fit into any known categories.

Book Description
"He who believes in miracles has already obtained one." A faith so powerful that he bore the stigmata. Prayer so intense that he appeared to believers all over the world. Padre Pio is one of the most intriguing and otherworldly saints of the twentieth century, but this biography has been out of print in English for more than forty years--until now. Padre Pio, written just a few years after his death, brings the saint's words and works to a new audience eager to learn of his mysticism and miracles.
