Book excerpt: He cured the sick, raised the dead, prophesied the future, walked on water, was a major influence on seven Popes and five kings, founded an order of hermits that eventually established nearly 500 monasteries, and was canonized just twelve years after his death at the age of ninety-one, yet in the English-speaking world hardly anyone has heard of St. Francis of Paola. To rectify this situation, the authors have collaborated to write the first work ever to appear in English on the incredible life of San Francesco di Paola.
