General Description:

Henri Daniel-Rops

In every age and every country, valiant men and women have rejected the empty pursuit of worldly comforts and devoted their lives to bringing the transforming truth of Jesus Christ to people who do not know Him. Here are the courageous deeds of eleven of these holy heroes, told with exhilarating vigor and immediacy by the master Catholic historian Henri Daniel-Rops.

From pagan Rome and Aztec Mexico to forbidden Tibet, Muslim North Africa, and the farthest reaches of the earth, these intrepid Catholics cheerfully risked rejection, ridicule, imprisonment, and even torture and death in order to proclaim the saving message of Christ. Among them are:

BI. Ramon Lull, who risked (and received) a death sentence by donning sheikh's garb and proclaiming Christ in the lands of Islam
Bartolome de las Casas, who fought tirelessly in newly Christian Mexico against the corruption and rapacity of his fellow Christians
St. Martin of Tours, who, full of confidence in God, risked a horrible death in order to demonstrate the truth of Christ to a disbelieving people
Fr. Nussbaum, who brought the seed of God's word to the most infertile soil on earth: Tibet, the mysterious and legendary "top of the world"

And many other heroes of God and breathtaking adventures!

These astonishing but true stories acquaint you with men and women who will strengthen your gratitude for your Catholic faith. They also give you a vivid reminder of the immense power of the Spirit who dwells in your soul! Let these stories show you what the love of Christ can accomplish in the world - and in your own soul!
