This book is very comprehensive, detailed and the author Fr. Carty has enormous respect for our dear St. Pio. However, I would recommend this book for someone who already prays to Padre Pio and knows something of his background. It might be too much too soon for someone who knows nothing about Padre Pio.
If you are trying to ‘introduce’ someone to Padre Pio, then it’s probably best policy to invite them to pray to Padre Pio, and then read about Padre Pio later.
When friends of mine are in need (they need a new job, or are having difficulty paying the rent), I show them the Padre Pio novena to the Sacred Heart. We usually bless ourselves with Lourdes holy water (Padre Pio loved Lourdes holy water and would kiss a bottle of Lourdes holy water) and then say the novena. Even if the prayer request/intention is not answered immediately, saying this prayer really inspires hope. In recent weeks, two friends of mine was going through a series of job interviews, and said the novena prayer so that they would get jobs. They both got the jobs that they were being interviewed for! Many thanks Padre Pio.
