The Miraculous Life of Father Houle

From amazon.com: The Miraculous Life of Father Houle is the true story of a man who was born to experience God's love through his life and his ministry as a Catholic priest. His own birth was the first of many miracles to reveal that he was especially chosen to lead and bring faith to people's lives. After entering the Jesuit order, Father John A. Houle, S.J. was assigned to missionary work in China. Little did he know that his work would bring him face to face with Mao Tse-Tung's communist thugs. He was thrown into prison for four long years, where he lived in deplorable conditions and nearly died. When he was released, however, his mind and body were recharged and ready for the Lord's work. This was the second miracle in his life. The third miracle happened in 1990 when John found himself at death's door with pulmonary fibrosis. Doctors did not expect him to live through the weekend. Then, during a visit from his superior, Father Parrish, a final miracle occurred, culminating when Father Houle flew to the Vatican in Rome in 1992. This story, told with love and respect by his nephew Larry, will stay with you long after you read the final pages.
