Don Bosco: The Founder
The book, written by Fr John Lens sdb, chronicles in brief the zealous efforts of Don Bosco (Salesian Priest – Father and friend of Youth) in starting the Society of St Francis de Sales, famously known as the ‘Salesians of Don Bosco’ (SDB) with a clear vision of reaching out to the numerous young people in need, with the heart of Jesus Christ. Written in an attractive and simple language, the book presents a bird’s eye-view of the challenges, support and inspiration that guided Don Bosco in forming the religious group of men and women (the Salesian Sisters) who are at the service of the poor and marginalized, especially the young. Today the Salesians are present in more than 129 countries of the world and in 5 continents across the globe.
