My Father, I put myself in your hands, wrote Charles de Foucauld in his journal. Whatever you make of me, I thank you, I am ready for everything, I accept everything, I thank you for everything.When he was killed by bandits in 1916, the French aristocrat-turned-monk was virtually unknown. Over the course of a century, however, the radiance of Foucaulds hidden life has spread more and more, and the Church now recognizes him as a saint.His youth and early adulthood read like a novel--the loss of his parents; his education in Paris, where he abandoned the faith of his childhood; his military career in French Algeria; and his exploration of Morocco. After a conversion at the age of twenty-eight, Foucauld was charged with a desire to surrender himself completely to God, leading him eventually to a life of prayer in the Algerian desert. There he devoted himself to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and charity toward his Muslim neighbors--even to the point of death.Jean-Jacques Antier describes Foucaulds dramatic, inspiring life in a vivid narrative style. He based his biography on the mans writings and correspondence as well as interviews with numerous people who knew him.Illustrated with sixteen pages of photos, and indexed.Jean-Jacques Antier has published more than fifty books, translated in eight languages. His many books include Martha Robin: The Still Journey and with Jean Guitton, The Mysterious Powers of Faith.Book specifications:Dimensions: 228 x 154Author: Jean-Jacques AntierCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 4Pages: 375Language: EnglishPublisher: Ignatius PressWeight: 522 g
