Summary

• I rejoice in this book! Here is no mere biography, no simply historical presentation of a life once lived. Through years of studying her Diary and immersing himself in Divine Mercy, Fr. Kosicki came to know St. Faustina--not as some remote visionary, but as a real person acting here and now.
• This is the person you will find in these pages, fulfilling through Fr. Kosicki, her promise to return to earth to encourage others to trust (see Diary, 1582). Come and meet her and discover why Pope John Paul II called her "a gift of God to our time." May she become for you--as she is for Fr. Kosicki--a sister who will walk with you, intercede for you, and teach you what it means to live in the mercy of God.--Vinny Flynn Author 7 Secrets of the Eucharist Director, MercySong Ministries of Healing.
• This is a book to keep for a long time. You will also want to share copies with friends who are sincerely seeking to grow in the love of God and Christian discipleship. The mystery of Divine Mercy is an essential and most powerful element in the Christian life. Here, you will find it very well explored through the life and experiences of the great and humble mystic of our times.--From the Foreword by Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR --Book Jacket.
