The Spirit of Father Damien: The Leper Priest

Now he's Saint Damien! The Belgian priest, who in the late 19th century heroically ministered to lepers exiled on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, is a model of missionary enculturation. He transformed a ragtag, lawless throng into a thriving community built on Jesus Christ, and eventually succumbed to leprosy himself. Paperback.
