Over the course of a century, however, the radiance of Foucauld's hidden life has spread more and more, and the Church now recognizes him as a saint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis youth and early adulthood read like a novel--the loss of his parents; his education in Paris, where he abandoned the faith of his childhood; his military career in French Algeria; and his exploration of Morocco. After a conversion at the age of twenty-eight, Foucauld was charged with a desire to surrender himself completely to God, leading him eventually to a life of prayer in the Algerian desert. There he devoted himself to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and charity toward his Muslim neighbors--even to the point of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-Jacques Antier describes Foucauld's dramatic, inspiring life in a vivid narrative style. He based his biography on the man's writings and correspondence as well as interviews with numerous people who knew him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrated with sixteen pages of photos, and indexed.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621645153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 375","brand":"Jean-Jacques Antier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42038656401589,"sku":"9781621645153","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_82912cee-9093-467c-a479-8947f20f8cc3.jpg?v=1649738060","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/charles-de-foucauld-9781621645153","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
