Very good biography of a fascinating young woman. The many photos were an excellent addition.

The definitive life, based on the official "Process of Beatification and Canonization," and thus totally factual and documented. Of humble education and assigned to a forgotten farmers' village, he attracted the whole world to Ars and was proclaimed "Patron Saint of Parish Priests" in 1929. He ate one meal a day, slept only a few hours a night, heard confessions up to 17 hours a day, converted thousands. His body remains incorrupt. A grace-filled story of total love of God!

Biografía sobre la santa. Se detiene en los aspectos históricos más que en la vida espiritual. Fomenta la devoción a Nuestra Señora.

Extensa biografía (669 pp.), con numerosas referencias al proceso de canonización. Estilo sobrio, lenguaje preciso, descripción del marco ambiental en que se desarrolló la vida del Cura de Ars. El autor resalta la lucha ascética del santo para vencer las imperfecciones y debilidades. Conviene advertir que el modo de vivir algunas virtudes dista mucho de un espíritu laical.
