The dynamic pace of Ralph & Mary Valerio in southern Italy occurs from 1924 to 1935, where half a century later they are still fondly remembered. Born in Italy & sent to America as working teenagers, they met & married in the Bronx, as Ralph was developing a reputation as man-about-town "grocery king." The stunning change in Ralph after his conversion amazed his cousins for years. He felt compelled to share his new concepts with his Italian kin & hometown. He sold his thriving business & moved a family of five to begin a self-supporting ministry on a bicycle. His fantastic success resulted in his subsequent ordination. Over 6 churches were developed from scratch in Sicily despite a dictatorial environment. Chapter headings: Overwhelming Presence, New Roots, Flee!, Ill Will, Persistent.
