This is the life of Peter Favre, first companion of St. Ignatius, a holy and energetic missionary who, as a young college student had met Ignatius and Francis Xavier at the University of Paris in 1525, and there began the origins of the great Society fo Jesus. In this inspiring biography, Fr. William Bangert, S.J., has drawn on many essential historical sources and consulted various experts and documents to present a detailed, moving portrait of this prayerful, humble, and zealous Jesuit who spent himself in the service of Christ, packing into the last seven of his forty years on earth an incredible program of travel and work that kept him always on the move 'to the other towns' to proclaim the Kingdom of God.
