Forty Dreams of St. John Bosco:
The Apostle of the Youth
Saint John Bosco, J. Bacchiarello. Tan Books, 1997.
This book is a collection of forty of Saint John
Bosco's dreams. Each entry is several pages long
captures in vivid detail the experience of this saint as
he dreamt. These entries demonstrate the remarkable
insight that John Bosco had into the depths of his own
soul and the souls of those around him. He often used
these striking personal and prophetic dreams to
instruct and guide his students and colleagues. It is as
if he could read the consciences of others through his
dreams. This book gives the reader a glimpse into the
life of a truly remarkable man.
