The book was inspired by his Lordship Bp. Frank Marcus, when saintly life stories were a need among the catholics; specially the young people. This story narrates beautifully from the birth of John Bosco until the spreading of the Salesian mission in Sri Lanka.
The society of St. Francis de Sales or Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB), is a religious Congregation founded by St. John Bosco in 1859 in Turin, Italy for the purpose of helping, educating and training poor boys. To date, services of the Salesians have spread to 131 countries in the world. In Sri Lanka, the very first Don Bosco Centre was established in 1956 at Negombo. The Salesians of Don Bosco have, to date established 18 centres in different parts of the country.
