And this is what inspires the writing of the “Amazing Lives” featured in his new book. Lives that take place in Madagascar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Paraguay, Israel, Ethiopia… And they have names like José Manuel Cotelo, Patrick Latta, Paul Ponce, or Christopher Hartley. Characters with professions such as car salesman, missionary, filmmaker, former Methodist pastor now Catholic priest, juggler…
Father Arturo Díaz’s book “Amazing Lives” presents “stories of atheists who discover God, and of believers who thought they were ‘Bible Catholics’ until they, by God’s grace, realized how exciting the path ahead of them actually was,” comments Monsignor José Ignacio Munilla, current bishop of Alicante, in the initial presentation of the book.
Reading “Amazing Lives,” in the words of Bishop Munilla, “may resonate in the heart, as you progress through the reading, with the phrase that my dear fellow Ignacio de Loyola thought when reading the lives of saints in a Flos sanctorum: ‘If they achieved it, why not me?’”
“Amazing Lives” can be purchased at religious bookstores and at Amazon, and it is a perfect read for everyone this summer.
