"I think one of the greatest things you could kick yourself all around heaven for, if you could do that, would be for not realizing He was always with you just as if no one else existed."

TO THE HEIGHTS - A NOVEL BASED ON THE LIFE OF BLESSED PIER GIORGIO FRASSATI
Born to a wealthy family in Turin at the dawn of the 20th century, Pier Giorgio Frassati was good-looking, popular and athletic. He spent much of his youth climbing the rugged Italian Alps, disappearing into the clouds for days at a time. He was quick with a joke or a prank and enjoyed a good time. It seemed he was blessed with everything a young man could ask for-but he hungered for more. Dig deeper than the biographical facts and discover the heart of a charismatic young man known today as Blessed Pier Giorgio.
FINDING FRASSATI - AND FOLLOWING HIS PATH TO HOLINESS
Author Christine Wohar, a noted expert on Frassati, has created this practical guide to Pier Giorgio’s short but spirited life. Writing in a simple, accessible style, she presents forty reflections on aspects of his personal life and spirituality. Prayers and concrete action steps are included to help you make this future saint's habits and methods your own.
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was a remarkable young man. An avid mountain climber, he saw many parallels between the sport and Catholic life. At the summit, he felt closest to God. Frassati organized climbing expeditions that began with the Holy Mass and included prayer and conversations about faith. Popular and outgoing, he advocated for social justice, and for the poor and marginalized. When poliomyelitis claimed his mobility, and eventually his life, Frassati’s conviction of God’s goodness would live on in the family and friends whose lives he touched. 1 disc / 90 minutes (CC)
