On the author:
Patricia was a convert to Catholicism who wrote for "the human family." She is the author of critically-acclaimed books on saints and related topics, such as mysticism, healing God gives through the prayer intercession of saints, and supernatural phenomena. With a degree in Journalism (with a concentration in Anthropology and Liberal Arts) and advanced studies at Middlebury College's Ecole Francaise and UCLA giving her the ability to research in several languages, Patricia traveled extensively to saints' shrines and archives to research her many popular titles from eyewitness accounts and authentic documents. Her first book A Man for Others was published in 1982 by Harper San Francisco. It is still in print — as are all Treece's books — and has been translated into a number of languages, anthologized, been a book club selection, and acclaimed by secular as well as the religious press.

Dearest...
On the occasion of the feast of Saint Maximilian, I wish to extend to you my greetings, which arise from a reflection I would like to share with each of you. Maximilian Kolbe found himself, like all of us, living in a "change of era" from which, also due to new technological and scientific discoveries, a new vision of man and God was emerging and, consequently, a different approach to religion and the Church.
