To the Ends of the Earth: St Josemaria Escriva and the Origins of Opus Dei (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781091367067)

To the Ends of the Earth is the final book of a compelling, three-volume biography of Saint Josemar a Escriv , the founder of Opus Dei. Covering his later years in Rome, To the Ends of the Earth charts the dramatic spread of Opus Dei across five continents. The book also details Josemar a Escriv 's battles within the church to get the most important spiritual message of our time heard: that holiness is not just for priests and nuns but also for ordinary men and women, who can become saints through their everyday lives and work. Initially branded a "madman" and "heretic," Escriv lived to see his teachings affirmed by Vatican II. To the Ends of the Earth also tells the story of how Josemar a Escriv became a saint, and the Vatican's investigations into numerous miracles accredited to him, resulting in his canonization by Pope John Paul II on October 6, 2002.
