The Founder of Opus Dei, Volume I: The Early Years

Description

By Andrés Vázquez de Prada

The first of three volumes on the life of St Josemaría Escrivá, recognised as a pioneer in helping ordinary Christians find God in their daily lives. It covers his family background, childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, including the moment as a teenager when a barefoot Carmelite’s footprints in the snow moved him towards the priesthood, and his efforts to build up Opus Dei through the Spanish Civil War. The volume includes extensive notes, appendices, excerpts from his correspondence and spiritual writings, and testimonies from friends and acquaintances.
