Description
a personal friend of Cardinal Thuan, this moving biography--containing over 70 photographs and writing excerpts--chronicles the life of the man Pope John Paul II said was "...marked by a heroic configuration with Christ on the cross." From a prisoner in a communist jail cell to a leader of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace in Rome, Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan remained a man of unshakable faith and undying hope.
