Taken from the introduction: "This book is about a man who, after being extraordinarily cured, choose to devote himself to the office of helping people of a faraway continent to live in a more dignified, human, happy way. Alpidio Balbo's example, today materialized in the Missionary Group Merano he created, teaches us something about cooperation and solidarity that overcome ethnic and spatial barriers. It shows us it is possible to make one's life really worth being lived". The book was published in 1995 by Edizioni Mediterranee.
