Unveil the captivating story of Blessed Carlo Acutis in "Blessed Carlo Acutis: A Saint in Sneakers," a heartfelt biography that chronicles the life of the first millennial beatified by the Catholic Church. Born in 1991, the same year the World Wide Web was launched, Carlo Acutis is celebrated by the Pope as a model of love and holiness in our digital age. This tech-savvy teenager has demonstrated that sainthood is attainable even in the realm of computer coding and video games.

From a young age, Carlo's fervent devotion to Jesus was inspiring and infectious. His faith journey brought his family back to the Church and even led to the conversion of his Hindu au pair. Calling the Eucharist "my highway to heaven," Carlo was passionate about spreading the truth of Christ's real presence, using his computer skills to design a global exhibition on Eucharistic miracles.

Vatican journalist Courtney Mares takes readers on a journey through Carlo's life, from his vibrant childhood in Italy to his enduring legacy. Through interviews with those who knew him—friends, family, teachers, priests, doctors, and classmates—Mares paints a vivid portrait of a young man whose life, though brief, was filled with profound faith and love.

Featuring an eight-page colour photo insert and accounts of the miracles attributed to Carlo’s intercession, including one certified by the Vatican, this book reveals how Carlo, who sought no attention for himself, has become a global "influencer for God" after his death. "Blessed Carlo Acutis: A Saint in Sneakers" is an inspiring testament to how a modern teenager embraced his faith and left an indelible mark on the world.
