Delbrêl draws from her own experiences living in Ivry, witnessing to the possibility of a life at once rooted radically in the church and fully engaged in the world. This posthumously published collection spans Delbrêl's life, from a piece she wrote as a seventeen-year-old atheist to her later Christian works. Her passionate essays explore the Christian's role in a secular society, the difficulty of faith in an atheistic environment, the need for prayer, the centrality of the church, and the fundamental importance of loving both God and our neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMADELEINE DELBRÊL\u003c\/b\u003e, a poet by nature and an atheist by conviction, underwent a radical conversion at the age of twenty that led her to found, in 1933, a \"gospel\" community of lay women dedicated to poverty, chastity, and work among the poor.
