Pope John Paul II declared Maximilian Kolbe 'the patron saint of this difficult century.' The famous and unique writing style of French author Andre Frossard captivates the reader with Maximilian Kolbe's heroic story. This book details Kolbe from his childhood through his founding of the largest monastery in the world (700 Franciscans), to his missionary journeys to Japan, to his final act of love in Auschwitz, where he became a Christian martyr.
