{"product_id":"padre-pio-stories-and-memories-of-my-mentor-and-friend","title":"Padre Pio: Stories and Memories of My Mentor and Friend","description":"This colorful memoir offers a rare, up-close glimpse of the life and personality of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, the beloved Italian monk who was blessed with extraordinary gifts.\nThe late Fr. Amorth—well-known as an exorcist —enjoyed over two decades of a close friendship with the holy, quirky Padre Pio, whom he considered his spiritual father. Adding his own personal experience to a foundation of biographical research, Amorth gives an entertaining and illuminating account of perhaps one of the best-known saints of the twentieth century.\nIn this book, we span from Padre Pio''s childhood—where he cured himself of a disease by wolfing down all his mother''s fried bell peppers—to his miracle-filled priesthood, to his Italian gift for mimicry, humor, and storytelling.\nRather than a plaster image of a saint, this book is a portrait of a fully human kind of holiness, proof that even the most astonishing graces can be lived out with simplicity and joy.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1621644405\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1621644405.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Amorth, Fr.
