Summary: Collection of Novenas
Comment: "Saint Anthony of Padua: Our Franciscan Friend" has a quote from Pope John Paul II on the back, implying the book is a study of Anthony's life. This is a collection of novenas, not a short biography.

Unfortunately, the history provided here is weak, with only a few pages dedicated to describing the facts. Besides a few dates, mostly this book is a collection of novenas and prayers, and some stories surrounding the myth of St. Anthony. The writers don't cite or footnote the source of the stories either, except for a brief bibliography (seven items).

Of interest to me was a nicely designed map, showing where Anthony traveled and preached. Also, there is a chronology of events of his life, with contextual events.

For those looking for approved Roman Catholic prayers and devotions to St. Anthony, this is the one to get. However, if discovering an introduction to the historical Anthony of Padua, missionary, scholar, apologist evangelist and teacher, look elsewhere.
