Through Faith & Fire: The Monks of Spencer 1825-1958

THROUGH FAITH & FIRE is a story that spans centuries and crosses continents, that moves from years of persecution in Napoleon's Europe to decades of adventure in the new lands of America. But above all else, it is a vivid recounting of how a community of faith managed to persevere and indeed to thrive in the face of continual challenges, establishing a life dedicated to the simple virtues of prayer, work and contemplation in the midst of an increasingly busy and distracted world.
