Description
Michael Higgins couples his personal anecdotes and investigations with case studies of a range of particularly interesting and inspiring potential saints, namely Mother Teresa, Pope Pius XII, and Padre Pio. Higgins also addresses the possible canonization of Pope John Paul II. His research is unwaveringly thorough and his references are extensive. The result is an analysis characterized by both depth and clarity.
