SAINT BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX Oracle of the Twelfth Century by Abbe Theodore Ratisbonne.

In all of history there is probably no other man who so dominated his times, so influenced its people and was so beloved by all as St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Deciding to renounce the world and enter religion, he chose the newly founded Cistercians, the strictest of monastic orders, bringing with him 29 other men and thus beginning the meteoric growth of that order. Abbe Theodore Ratisbonne, in this thorough yet popularly written biography, masterfully chronicles and explains in their historical setting all the extraordinary events and glorious accomplishments of St. Bernard of Clairvaux–the "Oracle of the Twelfth Century" and a Doctor of the Church. It is a book to make men weep over the glory of God manifested in a single man. Paper.
