Excellent! Excellent!
Ruffin provides an indepth and detail look into the life of Padre Pio. He not only describes the Padre's life but the Capuchin order, Italian society, and the Catholic Church in the early 1900s. He ties it all together to help you better understand what Padre Pio was like as a human being and Friar.I have read several books on Padre Pio. This one is by far the best.

An outstanding biography of a 20th century mystic.
Fr Ruffin, a Lutheran, has written a truly convincing, no-nonsense biography of his immensely difficult subject. Sorting fact from fiction and romance, he leaves you with incontrovertible evidence that Padre Pio brought mystical theology into our age

A must for all Christians scholars.
This book will be an asset to Protestant as well as Catholic scholars. It will also be an inspiration to all Christian seekers. Padre Pio is a lovable saint, and the book is well written. Source notes are a plus for a book about a mystic.
