Carlo Acutis: The Eucharist Is My Highway (Our Friends the Saints Book 9)

He wore sneakers. He played video games. He loved soccer. And he found the highway to heaven.

When we look at the saints, it is easy to feel discouraged. We picture monks in deserts or martyrs in ancient coliseums. We put them on pedestals so high that we convince ourselves holiness is completely out of reach.
Then we meet Carlo Acutis.

Carlo was a completely normal teenager living in modern Milan. He coded websites, argued with his parents, and hung out with his friends. Yet, at just fifteen years old, he lived a life of such deep joy and quiet courage that the Church is now bringing him to the altars.

In Carlo Acutis: The Eucharist Is My Highway, readers are invited to walk alongside this extraordinary young saint.
This is not a dry biography. It is an invitation to friendship. Written in a warm, pastoral voice, this book brings Carlo’s story to life through vivid scenes and honest reflections. Discover how he turned his everyday life into a path to God, using his love for technology to document Eucharistic miracles and his quiet charity to serve the poor on the streets of Italy.
Inside this book, you will discover:

• A Relatable Friend: See how Carlo faced the exact same pressures, distractions, and joys that teenagers experience today.
