I finished this book in the nick of time for a Catholic book club with one of our parish priests who admires Fr. Ciszek. I enjoyed the book, and was amazed by how easily and openly he spoke of extreme hardships. I expect the fruit of reading this book will be revealed when I read his later books; understanding someone's life experience often helps understand the...I don't want to say angle, but choice of words and which lessons to try and pass on. That said, this book on its own is quite good. I am glad I read it and have an appreciation for the level of trust in the providence of God Fr. Ciszek always displayed.
