“Martin de Porres is often summed up with a few sweet words about his healing powers and love of animals. Four hundred years ago, the illegitimate son of a freed slave and a Spanish nobleman, Martin challenged society’s ideas about humanity, social justice and the love of God. This new biography paints an in-depth portrait of the Dominican lay brother, revealing his steel will, depthless compassion and intense love of God.”
