A True Life Story of
Fr MARINO GEMMA
A BIOGRAPHY BY RICHARD MBINDYO
From a corroded childhood in Martina Franca, Taranto, Italy a boy teetered on the brink of death. Desparate prayers clawed their wayfrom his throat, a desparate bagain with a God from his hospital bed. The answer came, a lifeline thrown from the heavens.That salvation by the Almighty was such that he devoted the next part of his life as a priest.But this is no oerdinary piety.This is a 60 year ride of struggles , graces and some laughs.
This story is bristling with challenges that are managed through prayerand belief that change is possible. Buckle up and prepare to be empowered by the raw truth:you too ,can navigate the beauty of life no matter how bad or sad it looks.
"An irresistable Biography. Excellent capture ! In Kenya many books have been written on politicians, entreprenuers, the rich and famous, educationists and entertainers.But there are comparatively few texts on persons whoe offered a spititual legacy to the nation and beyond.The illustration on the cover page with images of acub and a fully-grown lion, captures the essence of the narative: Fragile to Fierce.In order to experience the full taste of this book, i urge you: Tolle lege!.";__ Prof Lawrence Njoroge - Chaplain JKUAT
