Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 34
A young, shy, sickly priest is assigned to his first parish, a sleepy village in Northern France. Though his faith is devout, he finds nothing but indifference and mockery. The children laugh at his teachings, his parishioners are consumed by boredom, rumours are spread about him and he is tormented by stomach pains. Even his attempts to clarify his thoughts in a diary fail to deliver him from worldly concerns. Yet somehow, despite his suffering, he tries to find love for his fellow humans and even a state of grace.

Beautiful to behold and ponder
Revisado: 04-23-23
A beautiful illustration of the winsomeness of a guileless, earnest, childlike country priest whose insights, poverty of spirit and holy simplicity were refreshing and edifying and transformative to those who encountered him, including the reader/listener, in my case. Hope to read again to further absorb and ponder this story of a humble, ordinary-yet-extraordinary embodiment of the Spirit of Christ in the life of a parish priest.

Since its publication in 1932, Black Elk Speaks has moved countless readers to appreciate the American Indian world that it described. John Neihardt’s popular narrative addressed the youth and early adulthood of Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux religious elder. Michael F. Steltenkamp now provides the first full interpretive biography of Black Elk, distilling in one volume what is known of this American Indian wisdom keeper whose life has helped guide others. Nicholas Black Elk: Medicine Man, Missionary, Mystic shows that the holy-man was not the dispirited traditionalist commonly depicted in literature....

Perfect

This was an awesome review of a complex man’s life. The context of his last Fr was taken into account in a new way when looking at the words he gave to Niehardt earlier in his life.
It looks a a great review of the entire life and time of a great holy man of two traditions.
