ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE
Author: Rev. Jeremiah J. Smith,O.F.M. Conv. 104p. PB
The famous martyr of Auschwitz who volunteered to take another man's place who was condemned to death by starvation. Before World War II, he was the great Polish apostle of Mary who worked mightily to conquer the world for Christ through Mary, desiring to save all souls in the world till the end of time! This book describes his boyhood vision, his secret agreement with St. Therese, the Little Flower, his incredible apostolate of the press, the building of the City of the Immaculata in Poland (the largest religious community in the world), his work in Japan, his arrest by the Nazis, his sufferings in a concentration camp, and finally his heroic martyrdom. Proof positive that the faith still produces heroes and martyrs even in our own day!
