Description

In contrast to our volume of Dorothy Days Selected Writings, this volume will focus on her essential spiritual themes. These of course were expressed throughout her life as a writer, leader of the Catholic Worker movement, and activist. But I will try to highlight the underlying spiritual themes that underlay her particular model of faith in action and holiness.

Author Biography:

Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker, has been called "the church's least likely yet most plausible saint." In this early autobiographical work (originally published in 1938), Day offered the first account of her dramatic conversion, a story later expanded in her classic autobiography, The Long Loneliness. In this concise and passionate work her purpose was more specific: to give an account to her former comrades in the radical movement of the steps that led to her to embrace Christ and the Catholic Church. Robert Ellsberg is the publisher and editor-in-chief Orbis Books. He is the author of many books about saints and holiness, including All Saints, Blessed Among All Women, The Saints Guide to Happiness, and A Living Gospel: Reading God’s Story in Holy Lives. Strongly influenced in his youth by his work with Dorothy Day, he has edited five volumes of her writings, including Selected Writings, The Duty of Delight: The Diaries of Dorothy Day, All the Way to Heaven: Selected Letters of Dorothy Day, and most recently, On Pilgrimage: The Seventies.
