Phillip Campbell, author of the best-selling The Story of Civilization series from TAN Books, returns to offer young Catholics a compelling historical account of the life of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. Wounds of Love follows the journey of Saint Pio from his youth as a farm boy in Pietrelcina to his days as the beloved wonder-working friar of San Giovanni Rotondo. His fascinating and inspiring life unfolds in these pages, from the earliest moments he received the Stigmata to his bouts with the devil to his reading of souls to the touching relationships he shared with his parents and so many others. Suitable for ages ten and up.
Yet Wounds of Love goes beyond mere biography, giving ample room to explore the intense inner life of the great Capuchin saint. Written in an engaging narrative style and beautifully illustrated throughout, Wounds of Love will deepen your love of Padre Pio.

Wounds of Love -Padre Pio
He is one of favorite Saints and it is always good to read about him.

Padre Pio
What a great Saint you will not regret buying this story of Padre Pio. He was a great saint, he could read souls in confessions. He helped so many. For the high gifts good gave him, he had suffered so dearly. He never ever gave up. He is really a great Saint to learn about, a saint I have followed all my life.

Almost perfect
Lovely introduction to Padre Pio for children. Nice narrative style. Only unfortunate thing is that the last image is of Padre Pio, obviously saying a Novus ordo mass, which he never did. The New Mass was not even promulgated before he died.

Phenomenal!
We got this for our 9 year old son for his birthday and he has read it pretty much continuously since then. I read chapter 1 and cant wait to read more, I really like the narrative style and think there should be more like it!
