 Inspirational and Enjoyable Aug 25, 2008
By H. Guarino
I couldn't put this book down. I couldn't wait to find out what was happening. I always have felt that I have had angels on my shoulder, and this is what I felt he was writing about.
It was very engrossing, and left me with a real good feeling. I give this book five stars!
My Thoughts Mar 12, 2011
By Sharon O.
Normally when I read spiritual and inspirational books they are nonfiction, however, "The Path to San Damiano" is a fictional story that is both spiritual and inspirational and I found it most intriguing. As I read about each character I enjoyed getting to know them. I liked the way the characters challenged me to be "my own better self."
There is a lot of information about Florence and Assisi Italy and the many great frescoes and churches there. I became curious enough to check some of them on the internet and now I have a desire to see them in person. The information about St. Francis of Assisi is also very good. It is obvious the author loves this region and has studied it in depth.
"The Path to San Damiano" has a sweet love story and a little mystery. I would have liked to see a little more excitement with the antagonist (FBI), but it was none the less an enjoyable read and I recommend it.
PS - If you liked the New York Times best seller, "The Shack". You may like this better. I did.
 Good story Jan 28, 2009
By thewaspyfeminist
This isn't the type of book that I would normally pick up on my own--I won it. It's a little heavy on religion for me, but it's a nice story. Four unlikely friends set off on a quest to locate a kind stranger they dub their "mystery friend" who appears in many different places and appears to only perform kind deeds and move on. Through a website they create, they discover others around the world who have similar experiences and stories to tell about a kind soul who appears in the same form. Their search takes them from California to Italy where they visit Assisi, the home of St. Francis where they hope to discover more about their mystery friend. The overwhelming themes of spirituality and caring for your fellow man are nice. The narrator's voice and dialogue in the book are awkward and stiff. Aside from that, it's a nice tale that's full of hope and goodness.
