My Story

Author: Marcos Pou

Published by: Human Adventure Books, 2026

Description: In the final period of his life, and at the suggestion of a priest friend, Marcos wrote a brief autobiographical account in which he presents his story as one traversed by the presence of Christ. His words describe his successes and failures, studies and parties, friendships, family members and girlfriends, joys and sorrows like those of any other young man—and how, through all of it, he gradually allowed himself to be won over by the sweet tenderness of the Lord.

Marcos’s life continues to touch the hearts of many who never knew him but who, after encountering his story, desire to live their faith with greater maturity or find within themselves a new longing to know Jesus.

“It is somewhat strange to speak of ‘my story,’ since the only thing interesting in it—the only thing that saves it from being a dull and flat story—is what Christ has done in my life. Therefore, it is really the story of what Christ has done with me.”
