With the careful scholarship of a researcher and the critical eye of a historian, Frederick M. Jones, C.Ss.R., brings Saint Alphonsus Liguori to life in this biographical and historical story of the Neapolitan nobleman turned priest. Capturing the personality and achievement of Alphonsus Liguori, while refusing to gloss over numerous flaws in the saint's character, this biography depicts a zealous priest, a learned theologian, and the founder of an order that has brought great honor to the Church.
