An interesting book on the life and the work of one of the most illustrious sons of the Church in India presented in a highly scientific manner ! Blessed Chavara has been variously described as the guiding light to believers and non - believers alike , a good shepherd , selflessly committed to the care of his sheep , a man of moral integrity and as a pillar that supported the Catholic Church because of the zeal he evinced in its expansion and in the protection of the Faith . Written in a commendably readable manner , a life like his cannot but be a guide and support for people of all times and places .
