Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati is one of the best books we've read in the Encounter the Saints series. We knew very little about this saint before reading it, so it was a treasure to learn so much about him. The book follows his life from his birth until his death, detailing important events from childhood to young adulthood. Our favorite parts were his interactions with his family and the sacrifices he made for them. This amazing saint was not only an incredible sportsman, but carved out time DAILY to pray and visit the poor. The author makes Bl. Pier Giorgio come alive as someone whom you would be friends with in real life and indeed, he is now our true friend in Heaven. This book works well as a read-aloud; I read it aloud to my children. They couldn't wait for the next chapter!

This book fits a perfect bill of a love-hate relationship. There are things I absolutely LOVE about the book, and several things that I hated.First off, the book, overall, has an excellent message which was thought provoking even to me as an adult: How we really ought to love more deeply and take care of those around us, especially the poor. Namely, to have charity as Christ would. So that is the great thing about the book that I absolutely love; you can rise to the book and come away from it inspired to do more. It had a great effect on me, and inspired me to look into the life of Frassati even more.But the negative aspect of it I could have done without. My first pet peeve was when the book stated that the Frassati children were lonely BECAUSE they were taught at home and were not allowed to go to school. Okay, so as a homeschooler that really irritated me. It irritated me even further when I researched the saint and I couldn't find anything in regards to them not having friends at a young age because they were homeschooled... rather it was the parents that didn't want them having outside friends that was the problem. Minor thing, a little white out took care of that! LOLBut the whole middle section of the book seemed to pit Frassati against his parents, left and right. Now I know that his parents were well-known to be harsh and he grew up in a hard family. However, it seemed there should have been lots of things you could have focused on in a children's book... and this would be at the very bottom of my list to include, or at least highlight the obedience of Frassati to his parents rather than how wrong they constantly were. After all, especially in a Catholic book, children should be ENCOURAGED to be obedient... this commandment of God and Church is difficult for them and thus I don't appreciate it when a book encourages their sinful nature rather than their good. So keep this in mind when you are considering the book!Overall, I still think it is an excellent book. I just had to heavily edit parts of it so the kids can get an excellent story without the negative. Since this wasn't a Jr. High or High school book, they really should have been more careful in what they put in it. However, I still have to recommend the book, especially with supervision and reading it with them, it would be a great book to have on hand.Boys in particular should really love the story of Blsd. Frassati. He had a very active life and was quite the young man!

This was the second book about Pier Giorgio Frassati that I have read this year. The other was Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati: An Ordinary Christian by Maria Amata Di Lorenzo. Both are excellent reads but there were a few stories in this book written for children that really inspired me and my son. My family and I love this series. And the example of Pier Giorgio is an incredible story of faith and service. And his live serves as an example to us all.As a family we loved this series and this specific book. The Encounter the Saints Series, from Pauline Books and Media, and consider them excellent reads. The series is written for younger readers, but they are so well written it can be appreciated by anyone who wants to grow in knowledge of a specific saint or learn from the examples of the 37 saints in the series to date. I really enjoy reading these books with my children, but need to be upfront and say I am well ahead of them in working my way through the series because I just cannot put them down. But now onto specifics about this book and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.The chapters in this book about Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati are:1. An Easter Gift2. Lessons in Love3. Facing the Music4. A Happy Surprise5. Growing Pains6. A Difference of Opinion7. Challenges8. The Making of a Saint9. Years of Turmoil10. A New Road11. Friend for All12. A Strange Land13. Home Again14. Journey of Prayer15. A Step Closer16. High Spirits17. Home Invasion18. Laura19. In the Mountains20. The Sacrifice21. The Happiest Day22. Holiness RevealedPrayerGlossaryMy children loved how much this man gave and served. While reading the book they talked about other ways they could help and give. We loved his involvement with Catholic youth organizations. We also like the smaller group within a group 'The Shady Characters' not only were them members of the Federation of Italian Catholic Students, they were also mountain climbers and loved spending time outdoors together. The Prayer to Blessed Pier Giorgio in this book is:Blessed Pier Giorgio, you taught me how to leadan unselfish life and to keep those who sufferclose to my heart. You had good times with yourfriends and you really enjoyed sports. But youalways kept God and love and kindness to othersas your highest priorities.Help me when I try to imitate you and IStumble. Help me when I lose my grip in tryingto climb always closer to God.I want to be an apostle of Jesus just like you.Amen.This is the only book in the series illustrated by Don Stewart. But the simple sketches really add to the story. It is also the only offering by Ana Maria Vasquez and Jennings Dean in the series.This book was very inspiring. I am hoping to read more about this saint and loved this volume. There are currently 37 books in this series, including The Saints Pray for Us. I have read a number of these books on my own and also about half of them with my children. My oldest who is 11 can read them to us. She has read them to me and also helped me read them to the younger children. My son who is 9 can read them with some help on the more difficult words, but he really enjoys just listening to these powerful stories. My youngest who is 6 loved the story, and while reading this one held her pink play sword. This book is part of the Encounter the Saints Series; from Pauline Books and Media, and this book is an incredible read as is the entire series! Our family gives them five stars.
