Reviews

[Stefan Dion Garcia · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was not a good idea for a book. Basically it is a bunch of self-backslapping little memoirs. Not very inspirational to me. I have lived with such so-called saints. Normally they are unbearable to those they live with because they always have this great mask on. People then say, "Isn't father amazing? " and you think, "Not so much."
