THE WAY OF PADRE PIO: The Book
Published by Christian Faith Publishers, The Way of Padre Pio: In His Own Words - Sanctify yourself and sanctify others, presents the theology of St. Padre Pio in his own words, and the spiritual principles he lived by. These principles can be summed up in the understanding of Redemptive Suffering. It was the "Way of Padre Pio". In his own words, he tells us how to love the Mass, how he participated in the Mass body and soul with Jesus, how to pray, to survive the Dark Night as well as its purpose, the importance of purgatory, and how to use the pain in our lives to sanctify ourself and others. Most importantly, he tells us why God allows suffering, its purpose in our lives and how to heal others with it. Any spiritual child of Padre Pio who seeks to know and understand this saint will find, in simple words, how to live out the spiritual principles he lived by.
Filled with over four hundred citations and references from St. Pio, and other Redemptive Suffering saints such as St. Faustina Kowalska, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Teresa of Avila, the book is well documented. Each saint offers their understanding and experience of suffering and how they used it in their lives, and not only live joyously, but heal others with it.
The Way of Padre Pio weaves the basic tools of Redemptive Suffering - penance and reparation - which take the form of suffering and sacrifice, into common areas of life and how to use them to sanctify ourself and others. It answers the call of Mother Mary in Fatima to offer ourselves as Victims for the salvation of the world.

Comments on the book The Way of Padre Pio
It is really an easy read. And for something as personal as reflections on one’s experience in the spirit of how a mystic, such as our own Padre Pio, touched your life, because of the simplicity, directness, and prayerful life of St. Pio. Who knows how many other souls can be touched.” “

“…beautiful book…
“I am coming time and again to some pages already read…I am really enjoying, praying, mediating many of its pages. Thank you for your work and for helping many of us to better understand Padre Pio’s life and teaching.”
"There is no doubt you are that you indeed are explaining the understanding of our spirituality."

“…your way of weaving his (Pio) words with those of Jesus and the saints gives a wholistic view of who he has become for many. His reminder of the role of suffering in our lives should we choose to be true disciples of Jesus is part of the invitation to follow Him. What is more important is how his life has brought your life more in union with Jesus’ life. Grateful for the opportunity to read and be blessed by how this man chose to live his life fully freely and faithfully to Jesus even in the midst of his suffering. I found it reflective, affirming and an invitation to a deeper life with Padre Pio walking with you.”

“I have enjoyed reading your book and learning many things including intercession. I was aware of what it was, but not to the extent of someone suffering as much as Padre Pio did. I've also pondering many other things. As a Protestant, this book is a great resource sharing personal insight into Catholicism and the author cites an abundance of valuable resources for self-study.”

“I certainly agree that this would work well in CCD; however, I can also say that it is perfect even for many men and women who in theory know their faith and are at least showing up for Sunday and Holy Days of obligation. To me, your book is wonderfully written and in a very accessible style. I can honestly see many being brought to the fullness of discipleship, which is to say, redemptive suffering, by your book. That is why I was thinking that a discussion guide, with points for reflection, questions to answer, etc would be most useful. I truly believe that much good reflection and prayer can come from your book.”
