[Mihajlo Curcic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for all of us who knew so little about this great Saint of modern times. May we have his protection.

[Jon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant summary of the life of this great saint of our recent times

[Mother Seraphima · Rating 2 out of 5]

Of course, with St. John there are some wonderful miracles remembered. This book is mostly a compilation of many peoples' encounters with St. John or the miracles he worked both before and after his repose. It is difficult to piece together a comprehensive and flowing biography. If that is what you are looking for, this book is not recommended. But, if you are interested in the many miracles attributed to St. John, then this is quite an expansive collection.
