"From the foreward by Cardinal Justin Rigali: Fr. Richard Boever has written a biography of St. John Neumann in the first person as if the saint were speaking to the reader. Fr. Boever's objective to focus on the humanity of St. John, rather than on his accomplishments, is achieved in a unique way. The direct quotations of St. John throughout the text provide a moving context for the experiences of his life rooted in a deep trust in God. This chronology of St. John Neumann's life includes the development of his deep faith from the early years until his death while bishop of Philadelphia. The reader is privileged to peer into his heart during his discernment of a priestly vocation and his perseverance in traveling across the Atlantic to the United States, where he was ordained. Saint John's letters to his family in Bohemia are both tender and stirring in describing the challenges and joys of serving in the developing Church in the United States. His life as missionary and bishop convey the holiness and humility that attracted so many souls to being disciples of Jesus Christ"--
