Book Review: Molokai: The Story of Father Damien
Summary: 4 Stars
A very detailed account of the life of Damien in the leper colony. However, the Catholic bureaucracy did its best to make his job most difficult through lies, innuendo,proken promises, etc.
Damien's life can be summed up in Johm 15:13 ....."Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends".
I have read two other books about the leper colony, one about Damien and the other "Mary of Molokai", but this one was the best.
Summary of Molokai: The Story of Father Damien
The story of Damien De Veuster, a nineteenth century Belgian priest who was sent as a missionary to Hawaii. It has been translated into English from Dutch and recounts how De Veuster became involved with the members of a leper colony, tried to improve their lives, angered his church in doing so and then died of leprosy himself.Inspirational Books
