Great Book! Jun 15, 2000
By annie

Catherine Odell has done a wonderful job telling the story of the life of Father Solanus Casey who was declared "venerable" in 1995 by Pope John Paul II. The story of his life as a Capuchin priest who served as a porter is so inspirational, reminding us all that no matter what our calling in life, there are many ways in which we can all serve God. Many people sought healing and counseling from him and this humble man was truly an instrument of God on this earth. Father Solanus tells us that we should not pray for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about a modern day person who may very well become a canonized saint.

A story of acceptance of God's will and love in our lives. Dec 17, 1998
By Larry
The story starts out rather slow and monotoneous, but before long you will find yourself completely emmerced in the psyche of this modern day saint. A touching story of one man's decision to say yes and to compleely surrender his life and his will to God's plan for his life. This humble man possessed those attributes that we all desire and seek, but somehow find elude us. This is a story of struggle, hope and the fullfillment of God's will in the very simple things of our lives. We are all drawn to this mindset and you will see the hunger and desire that we all have a hunger for by the unlikely attention that this man of God draws to himself without the desire to do so. If this beautiful story of real "life" brings a tear to your eye, you will have crossed that wonderful divide that seperates the spiritual from the secular, and you will in a very real sense find the hidden beauty of inner peace in the simple. I highly recommend this book for I believe it has set the roadmap for the true longing of the human spirit. The final words of Barney Casey are words that reverberate through the Centuries and words that should be readily on the tips of each of our tongues as we draw our last breath.

A Story of One Man's Wonderous Holiness Jul 29, 2004
By Amaranta Laraine
"Book Worm 2007"
This is a truly inspirational story. It not only shares his story of becoming a Capuchin Monk, but also about his early life. It is an interesting story about a man that we can all relate to in some way. Something really different about him is that he is not some person from another country that we only heard about because of the news. He is from the USA, he lived and worked in Detroit as a Porter and a priest. This is a wonderful story that everyone should read.

Father Solanus The story of Solanus Casey Mar 03, 2011
By Carol A. Paone
When I purchased this book, I actually purchased two, one for me and, one for my friend.
I had read the book before when visiting my sister in Boston and wanted to read it again. It is a great read.
One other point is that my grandmother met Father Solanus personally when she was going through a difficult time and he prayed for her and our family.
My brother (who has also read the book) and I believe that through the years those prayers have been answered in more ways then one.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give my feedback on this book.

 Solanus Casey a modern saint Feb 19, 2011
By Bill Lewis
I enjoyed this book very much. It reviewed the life of Fr Solanus Casey who spend most of his life in the Detroit area. It lets readers know that in spite of modern pressures and individual can not only live a healthy Christian life but they can rise higher than that. Solanus Casey is on track to becoming the first American born saint in the Catholic church. His career included many healings and other incredible events. I recommend this read to anybody interested in spiritual life.
