Holy Man on the Mountain: Padre Pio and the Americans who Discovered Him

Padre Pio, the 20th century saint who bore the bleeding wounds of Christ for 50 years, changed the lives of countless American GI's and civilians who sought him out at his remote hill-top monastery. By the time of his death in Italy in 1968, he was world famous. Stories of his miracles and spiritual gifts are countless. Allied airplanes were unable to bomb his town because he appeared in the clouds as a "flying monk" to stop them. Although a cloistered friar, he built one of the greatest hospitals in Europe. He wished to have all Americans as his spiritual children.Rega, Frank is the author of 'Holy Man on the Mountain: Padre Pio and the Americans who Discovered Him' with ISBN 9781593302290 and ISBN 1593302290.
