Padre Pio's dedication and love gave me an new respect and appreciation for Christianity in general and for the Catholic faith specifically. I've had feelings of agitation and even anger at both for a long time, but reading the book let me see (again) the essence of Christianity that won me over years ago as a kid: the importance and power of giving, prayer and of repentance. Just reading about Pio's works healed some wounds and that I'd gotten from years ago from Christianity. Padre Pio: The True Story has about a chapter and a half that talks about Pio's interactions with American soldiers just after WWII, particularly a man named William Carrigan (who according to the book was a pragmatic, skeptical man that still had great love and respect for the friar). If I decide to do anymore digging into Pio's message I'll be sure to check out the Padre's book, "The Agony of Jesus" as well as your book, Padre Pio and America. its an honor to have you visit my blog. Frank,
Thanks for the comment.

Actually your portrait of him is quite fair. I say this as the author of a book about him, called "Padre Pio and America," which tells, in addition to a short biography, the story of the American soldiers stationed in Italy during WWII. They heard about this holy man on a mountain, and went to visit him. I interviewed many of these GIs for the book. They offer first hand accounts of meeting a saint face to face in the midst of a war. Frank Rega Hello,
