Description

Ten Christians presents the stories of moral heroines and heroes, nonconformists often misunderstood by the institutional church, who always saw clearly the message of the gospel in their lives. Their courses of action were never easy, coming often in the face of great social upheaval, war, revolution, exploitation, poverty, incurable disease, and the ultimate example of man's inhumanity to man - the holocaust. They are heroic examples of the best person one can become; men and women who have made a significant contribution to the art of living. For anyone asking the whereabouts of behavior models and guides in the mature Christian life, here are flesh and blood examples of what it really means to be a Christian. CONTENTS: Pierre Toussaint; Damien De Veuster; Frederic Ozanam; Maximilian Kolbe; Teresa of Calcutta; St. Francis of Assisi; St. John Bosco; Rose Hawthorne Lathrop; Joseph Cardinal Cardijn; St. Therese of Lisieux.
