Book excerpt: "Set amidst the French Catholic Reformation, Bernard Pujo introduces the reader to a star-studded cast of political, religious, and social leaders of the age. Kings, queens, popes, ministers, bishops, and habitués of salons become associates of St. Vincent de Paul as he sets out to recruit an army of elite to minister to the poor and marginalized. In the process, one discovers the complex personality, comprised of both human and saintly qualities that characterized Vincent de Paul. Vincent de Paul, the Trailblazer portrays the age and the man in rich detail." --Joan L. Coffey, Sam Houston State University
