Forget Not Love: The Passion of Maximilian Kolbe

The dramatic story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a modern apostle of Catholic evangelization, Marian mysticism, and a martyr of charity, is captivated by the famous French author's unique writing style. With the encouragement of Pope John Paul II and the help of documentation (some unpublished) given to him by the Vatican, Frossard chronicles the dramatic and moving life of this Polish Franciscan who volunteered to die in place of a fellow prisoner in Auschwitz.

While Kolbe's heroic martyrdom is well remembered, Frossard demonstrates how his entire life was one of exceptional generosity in dedication to his goal of "love without limitations." Kolbe was a unique blend of mystic, intellectual talent, theologian, and down-to-earth realism. His incredible creative powers (despite repeated attacks of tuberculosis and having less than one lung) enriched the lives of all those who knew him, the millions who read his writings, and the countless people who were inspired by his example. century." Forget Not Love reveals the interesting and impressive details of Kolbe's childhood, vision of Mary, brilliance in his studies, his founding of the largest monastery in the world (700 Franciscans), massive printing apostolate, missionary journeys to Japan, and his final act of love in Auschwitz. Frossard has captured the heart of the man whom Pope John Paul II declared "the patron saint of this difficult century."
