{"product_id":"all-is-grace-jim-forest-9781570759215","title":"All Is Grace: A Biography of Dorothy Day","description":"Dorothy Day (1897-1980), founder of the Catholic Worker movement, and one of the most prophetic voices in the American Catholic Church, has recently been proposed as a candidate for canonization. In this lavishly illustrated biography, Jim Forest provides a compelling portrait of her heroic efforts to live out the radical message of the Gospel for our time. A journalist and social reformer in her youth, Day surprised her friends with the decision in 1927 to enter the Roman Catholic Church. In the Catholic Worker, which she launched in 1933, she found a way to combine her faith with her compelling commitment to the poor and social justice. Day and those who joined her devoted themselves to the Works of Mercy while struggling to create a new society \"\"where it is easier to be good.\"\" An ardent pacifist, Day was frequently arrested for her protests in the cause of peace and for the rights of workers. Drawing on Days recently published diaries and letters, Forest chronicles her extraordinary journey, with special stress on the unique spiritual vision that underlay her dramatic witness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Forest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570759219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570759215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 18","brand":"Jim Forest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047109423359,"sku":"9781570759215","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19539100-c377-48a0-bd2b-4c9f4c1d0897.jpg?v=1684988311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-is-grace-jim-forest-9781570759215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
