Description
I commend to you this book on the life and work of Fr. James Alberione. His life and his work were inseparable. He was a man consumed with the desire to spread the Gospel, a modern day St. Paul, under whose protection he placed the religious congregations he founded to spread and continue his work.
Convinced of the power of the printed word to influence the minds and hearts of people, he dedicated himself to putting the technology of modern means of mass communication to work on behalf of the Gospel message. His success is attested to by the rapidity with which his foundations have spread throughout the world.
But Fr. Alberione was more than just a man of foresight and practicality. He was a man of deep spirituality, as this book so successfully shows. I am pleased that the Daughters of St. Paul are, through the publication of this English edition, making the life, work and holiness of Fr. Alberione is more widely known and appreciated in the English speaking world.
