No Strangers to Violence, No Strangers to Love (Twentieth Century Christian Heroes)

Includes Thomas Dooley, Edith Stein, Charles de Foucauld, Vincent Lebbe, Franz Jaegerstaetter, Eve Lavalliere, Titus Brandsma, and Miguel Pro. "These people, whose stories I so briefly relate in this modest little book, were no strangers to our century's [20th] rampant violence. War, revolution, suicide, or genocide trapped them as it did so many of us. The Nazis and Communists killed five of them. One wore out his life in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Another died in China during the communist revolution. A nervous teenager assassinated one another; another saw her father fatally shoot her mother and then kill himself. Each of them refused to despair. Instead, these bitter realities became for every one of them the occasion for profound human growth. In the midst of terror, they found God." [from author's foreword]
