Athletic, handsome, and always good for a laugh, Pier Giorgio Frassati was the charismatic leader of a band of rowdy friends. He smoked, pulled pranks, relished extreme sports, fiercely debated politics into the night… and secretly gave away his wealth to help the poor: a mother unexpectedly widowed, a homeless invalid, a boy without warm clothes… and plunged eagerly into intense experiences of Eucharistic prayer.
This inspiring biography that captures Frassati’s spirit, Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati: An Ordinary Christian explores the adventuresome personality, and forthright love of a man who succeeded in wresting holiness from everyday life.

So far our Bible study group is enjoying the book. It is easy to read, and understand. Sometimes translations can be difficult. But this one has caused us no problems. The photos included in the book are very helpful in giving us pictures of St. Pier Giorgio, his family and acquaintances; back-in-the-day. It is good to be learning about this "ordinary" Saint. It gives us hope.
