Renewing the Church, Rebuilding the Parish

People of God is a brand-new series of inspiring biographies for the general reader. Each volume offers a compelling and honest narrative of the life of an important twentieth or twenty-first century Catholic.

Some living and some now deceased, each of these women and men has known challenges and weaknesses familiar to most of us but responded to them in ways that call us to our own forms of heroism.

Thomas MertonFaithful VisionaryMICHAEL W. HIGGINS

Thomas Merton was the consummate post-modern holy one: flawed, anti-institutional, a voice for the voiceless. But he was also a classical traditionalist: centered, obedient, in search of stability. Michael W. Higgins recounts the life of Thomas Merton, an insatiable wanderer, insightful thinker, courageous social commentator, and compelling spiritual guide. June 2014.
