Books by C M Ronald Ramson

Dear Reader,I decided to get out of the boat and walk on water.I chose to write an “autobiography” of a man who never wrote an autobiography. 187 years after his death, I did this because I have such admiration for him: Blessed Antoine-Frederic Ozanam.Over the years, I found that I know less about him than what I do know. In the process of writing this volume, I discovered much more about this 19th century Frenchman!  I believe he ranks among the most remarkable individuals I have ever studied, a rare combination of intellectual genius and man of sanctity, an extremist in love.By delving into his thoughts, feelings, and actions in the various sections of this biography I hope you will become as fascinated with Ozanam as I am and have been:+ the closeness of the Ozanam family+ Frederic’s spirituality+ the founding of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul+ his insights on a variety of subjects+ his fairly-tale marriage+ the last months of his short lifeThank you for choosing “I, Frederic…” Dear Reader,I decided to get out of the boat and walk on water.I chose to write an “autobiography” of a man who never wrote an autobiography. 187 years after his death, I did this because I have such admiration for him: Blessed Antoine-Frederic Ozanam.Over the years, I found that I know less about him than what I do know.
