Title: Informative, not inspirational
Review: If you are looking for amazing writing and inspirational stories, look elsewhere. This book is a matter-of-fact look at the life of St. Peter Julian Eymard. I have found his writings to be tremendously inspirational and highly recommend them... so I went ahead and looked for something about the saint himself. Well, the pickings are slim in that category but this book does the job. You will read about the life and death of this Apostle of the Eucharist with a heavy focus on the founding of his religious congregation and the struggles (physically and spiritual) he faced along the way. It includes many excerpts from his correspondence and you will come away with a good idea of who the saint was and what he was about. So don't go into this expecting a wildly inspiring story. It's a lot of facts. But it served its purpose for me. Relatively short, easy read too.Informational: yes.Inspirational: not so much.
