From his childhood, Maximilian ardently desired to share his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This desire eventually led him across the world, from Poland to Rome and from India to Japan. Like the great saints he admired, including St. Paul Miki and St. Catherine Labouré, Maximilian Kolbe was a true witness to the unfailing love of Mary and to the joy of self-sacrifice, even in the hopeless hunger bunker of Auschwitz. His courage and faith will inspire readers to entrust themselves totally to the will of God in all things.

Maximilian Kolbe's decision to take the place of a condemned man in the Auschwitz concentration camp is one of the greatest stories of heroism to emerge from the Holocaust. This book brings to life for a younger audience the incredible story of a Polish weaver's son who grew up to be a priest, a missionary, and a martyr. Kolbe lived amid the political unrest, the social change, and the spiritual battles that shaped the modern world. In the thick of it all, he had one goal—to share the love of God with as many people as possible. And he was a great innovator, spreading the Gospel through multimedia—a work that took him all the way to Nagasaki, Japan. With his deep love for Our Lady, Kolbe also founded a Marian movement that has spread throughout the world, the Militia Immaculatae, also known as the Knights of the Immaculata. His imitation of Mary's tremendous trust in God enabled him to bring hope everywhere he went, including a prison camp.

The former international director of the Knights of the Immaculata, and Guardian of the City of the Immaculate in Poland, examines St. Maximilian's Eucharistic, spiritual life as a priest and adorer of the Eucharist, all in the context of his love of the Immaculate. Fr. Domanski, who is the foremost authority on the life and writings of St. Maximilian, answers those who would accuse St. Maximilian of over-doing devotion to Mary at the expense of devotion to Jesus. "Even for those familiar with the life of St. Maximilian, this book (by Fr. Domanski) opens new insights into one of the greatest spiritual witnesses of our century. This is a deeply moving work which will reward the reader with new reasons for a fresh understanding of the Catholic Faith." - Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR

Includes 204 photos, plans and maps illustrating The Holocaust St. Maximilian Kolbe is famous as the saint of Auschwitz who volunteered to die of starvation and thirst in place of another prisoner. But his heroic death in 1941 in the worst of the Nazi concentration camps was only the culmination of an amazing life—for St. Maximilian was fired by the supernatural ideal of conquering for Christ through Mary all souls in the entire world—to the end of time! Full of interesting stories, this little book describes his mischievous boyhood, his youthful prophetic vision of two crowns, his dream of martyrdom, his use of modern printing technology to further Our Lady’s work, his agreement with St. Therese the Little Flower, his “Cities of the Immaculata” (the one in Poland grew from 19 members to 762 and was the largest religious community in the world), his knowledge that he was fighting Satan, and his prison abuse for being a Catholic priest.
