An inspirational glimpse into how St Rose surrendered to a life of fasting and self-denial as a means of uniting herself to Jesus Christ. In our time this is a very unfashionable approach to holiness & becoming a blessing to others but this bio holds its own. Beautifully read by Eduardo & Thomas May. Sadly, the female readers seem to have tried to beat the clock - the rapid reading, monotone & childish rhythms applied to the last two chapters especially, make it very hard to follow the meaning.

wondeful and uplifting

The great take away from the biography of St Rose of Lima is, the great value God gives to suffering offered to him as a token of love.

I love this book.

Nice to have these accounts of Saints as St. Rose who lived a life of penance. Gives relevant thoughts for those of this 21st century generation who cannot find satisfaction with the daily blessings that one enjoys...Well read too...

there are some readers who read too fast and miss important points. it sounds like one reader is dictating a shopping list...Great saint deserves great readers.

I have no problem with the content, but the recording is not understandable for at least two chapters.
