Produktinformationen zu „Alone and on My Knees (ePub)“
John DeCoste, the main character of Alone And On My Knees, weaves you through an incredible and adventurous pattern of personal life situations. First, he takes you through the stormy years of childhood and the years of young adulthood in his beloved village of Arichat, Cape Breton. Secondly, he takes you through the years as a student at Teacher Training College and his first experiences as a teacher in Nova Scotia; then, you journey with him through the years of seminary training in the United States and England. Finally, he shares his experience with you as a missionary priest in Africa, in particular in the countries of Burkina Faso (the former Upper Volta), Nigeria and Central Africa (Zaire, present day Congo, Rwanda, Burundi). Both at home and abroad he faced many challenges and life decisions. This is the story of such an odyssey. His experience of the Rwandan genocide and war touched his life deeply. It is an amazing story of growth in relationships, in love, hope, trust and faith and the great need for a strong and deep loving presence in ones life.
