Books with title Father Damien

This volume was published in 1905. From the book's Preface: By the kindness of Messrs. Macmillan, I am enabled to reprint my story of Father Damien with a few additions, and some omissions of what was only of temporary interest. It is good to find how his character and work still influence the world at large. How little he guessed in that distant island almost cut off from humanity that his life there would prove a power to lead numbers of people whom he had never seen or heard of into paths of greater devotion and use- fulness. Truly, "He that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." I have added a selection of short stories. Many of them have appeared before. My hope is that they may prove interesting and not wholly unprofit- able to other people than those who are directly connected with the Church Army. Some may judge them to be a very mixed collection, but my friends will not be surprised, for they know that I have found it good to learn from the vision which teaches us to reckon nothing which God has cared for common or unclean.

Along with dramatic full color illustrations, Father Damien tells the story of the famous missionary, from his boyhood in Belgium to his selfless work with children and adults afflicted with leprosy. Set against the colorful backdrop of the leper colony at Molokai in the Hawaiian islands, the book introduces young readers to one of history's heroes, a man who built over 300 houses, a church, a hospital, and two orphanages, and who eventually contracted leprosy himself. Not just intended for those interested in religion, Father Damien gives young readers a way to think about how people treat each other and what it means to be a human being.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
