History & Biography

“We live in strange and unpredictable times. Evidence that our world is a dangerous place is found in newspapers, on TV, radio and especially on social media. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are things we can do to change it, each in our own way. This book is an antidote to the negative and often violent social unrest witnessed the last several years. It offers hope and inspiration to bring about healing, reconciliation and peaceful change. It is the story of saints in our own time: Sister Thea Bowman, Dorothy Day, Saint Teresa of Calcutta and Nicholas Black Elk, as well as twelve others. It is a beautiful and inspiring book.”
