St. Gemma Galgani (1878-1903) was a mystic, stigmatist, visionary, ecstatic, victim soul, discerner of spirits, seer of hidden things, prophetess, spouse of Christ, zealot for souls and devotee of the Poor Souls in Purgatory. She died at only 25. Her mother was also saintly, and it is beautiful to see how she helped cultivate this lily of purity. See how Gemma made great sacrifices painful to human nature from her tenderest years. Inspiring and edifying! Impr. 382 pgs, PB

Very inspiring saint
Im over halfway through this book and am blown away by the account of her tremendous virtue, her humility, her mortifications, how she was highly favored by Heaven. Love this book.

Detailed Bio
This book goes into great detail about the life of St Gemma. The author was a spiritual director to the saint, which gives him great insights. Gemma is quoted extensively through the book, so you really get to know her. I highly recommend it.
