Publisher's summary
With Pietrelcina as his base, Thoman sets out each morning to the "Convents of Padre Pio." He accompanies the reader into these special places with captivating storytelling and detailed descriptions of what he encounters. He discovers that the cells where Padre Pio lived have been preserved with vintage furnishings to make them look exactly like they were when the saint was there in the early twentieth century. Further, each site has a small museum with relics and artefacts from his life. To bring these sites to life, there are over eighty color photographs included in this ebook edition.
The most captivating part of the journey, however, is the rich encounters the author has with the friars, sisters, and laypersons he meets along the way. Some knew Padre Pio personally. Their testimonies and stories beautifully inform the pages of this book.
The journey throughout the vast Province of Padre Pio was not easy. The author logged over 1,500 kilometers (930 mi) on his vehicle to reach the sites spread out across three southern Italian regions. Many are in remote mountain locations making them difficult to find and hard to reach. And yet, the difficulties of the journey are a reminder of the intense penances Padre Pio lived daily physically and spiritually in his body and soul – especially as relating to the wounds of Christ he bore in his hands, feet, and side. In this, Padre Pio shows us how to unite our sacrifices to the great sacrifice Christ made on the cross – and what it can lead to: “If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him” (Romans 6:8). This is the Paschal Mystery. And this is the heart of Padre Pio.
It is said that in order to know someone well, it is essential to visit the place where he or she grew up. The same is true with the saints. The sites associated with their lives tell their story. For those who will never be able to visit the friaries of Padre Pio personally, this book is like a pilgrimage that can be taken from one’s armchair at home. May God bless you as you make the journey.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

He read the souls of his penitents. He offered his suffering so that others might be healed. He built one of the most significant hospitals in Southern Italy. Most importantly, Padre Pio wanted others to be redeemed. In Bret Thoman’s latest book, he has created a fresh, new ...

Padre Pio's life through the places he lived
The content of this book was well researched and thorough. The writing was well done. tTe virtual voice narration, while a good tone and pace, was bothersome in some places particularly with the pronunciation of some words, including "paschal." Near the end of the book, the author encounters a religious nun, and for some reason the virtual voice puts a distinct pause between the words "sister" and her name every time it speaks this name.
