Igniting the Flame of Faith

by Angelo Montonati

Overview

Foreword by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI.

In these pages we speak of a man who, under the power of grace, is determined to battle what he believes to be the worst enemy of the Christian Faith: lukewarmness.

Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria engages in this battle by carrying, wherever he passes, a spiritual fire that conquers and rapidly spreads. It inflames with zeal the cities where he works, transforming them into radiant centers of sainthood.

About the Author

Angelo Montonati was born in Varese, Italy, in 1931. He has been a professional journalist since 1959, working for various periodicals and for "Vatican Radio." From 1969 to 1982, he was a special envoy to the Vatican. He worked for the most popular Italian weekly magazine "Famiglia Cristiana," and for ten years was editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine "Jesus."

An expert in religious topics, Montonati is particularly interested in the stories of the saints, especially of founders and foundresses of religious congregations. He devoted fifty biographies to them, some of which have been translated into English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Among his books are particularly noteworthy interviews with the Australian couple John and Evelyn Billings, apostles of natural family planning; with the Community of Sant'Egidio; and with Fr. Livio Fanzaga, head of the international broadcaster "Radio Maria."
