Instrument of Thy Peace [antikvár]

* Instrument of Thy Peace This is a book to be read and reread. Alan Paton has revised this classic book of twenty-one meditations on the prayer of St. Frances of Assis: "Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace." Each meditation ends with a personal prayer. Written at a time when his wife of thirty-nine years was slowly dying, Alan Paton's depth and simplicity of faith and com-mitment comes forth as the testament of a man who, in spite of doubts and deficiencies, has ne ver ceased to do. Alan Paton, noted author, concerned An-glican layman, teacher and advocate of racial justice in South Africa writes out of his own struggle to be the instrument he seeks to de-scribe. Paton is best known for his Cry, the Beloved Country.
