商品簡介
For the first time in sixty years, a comprehensive and engaging history of all eight North American martyrs of the Catholic Church.
The French Jesuit missionaries who worked among the Native tribes of what are now Canada and the United States are some of the lesser-known martyrs in Catholicism. These Jesuits were men of deep faith with a profound love for God and their neighbor, but they were also intellectuals--many of them had served on the faculty of Jesuit colleges in France. Yet they gave up all their comforts, all their privileges to serve as missionaries in an immense, dangerous wilderness. In this compelling narrative, author Thomas J. Craughwell brings history alive and chronicles the adventures and ultimate martyrdom of these men who journeyed to a foreign land and died in service to God.
