Summary: Discover the story of Carlo Acutis, the first millennial to be beatified by the Catholic church, whose contagious enthusiasm for Jesus brought his own family back to faith, converted his Hindu au pair to Catholicism, and grew into a digital exhibition of Eucharistic miracles around the world, all before his death at age 15. Vatican journalist Courtney Mares has travelled in the footsteps of Acutis across Italy to tell his story in depth, interviewing many whose lives he helped transform. This book paints a portrait of him as seen through the eyes of his friends, family, teachers, priests, doctors, classmates, and followers.
