Life of the great St. John Vianney (1786-1859). He barely succeeded in becoming a priest, but from the humblest parish imaginable, he became the "Patron Saint of Parish Priests" everywhere. He spent hours in the confessional, and because of his virtuous life he had to confront the devil many times. Read this concise and edifying biography of the famous Cure of Ars.
I happened upon this book while on retreat, and I bought my own copy as soon as I got home! It is a great book for getting the concise story of the saint. It includes many quotes and facts presented in a readable story of his life. I love it! Now I'm reading it to my family a few chapters at a time at Sunday breakfast and they love it too! (The chapters only take about 5 minutes to read) What a great way to get to know a great saint, especially during the year of the priest.
