Even those who are familiar with the life of Charles de Foucauld will find many new insights in Little Sister Kathleen's book. It's more than a biography: it's a guide for all of us to living the life of Nazareth; the life of everyday holiness as Pope Francis calls it. -- Rev. Terrence J. Moran Office of Peace, Justice and Ecological Integrity, Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth Little Sister Kathleen's biography of Charles de Foucauld is very special. He calls us whatever one's walk of life to a spirituality of abandonment into God's hands, encounter with others and the fostering of community, especially with the poor. In a word, he is our universal brother. I highly recommend this book. -- Msgr. Richard M. Liddy Seton Hall University Universal Brother is a superb interpretation of Charles de Foucauld. Sensitive interpretation of events in Br. Charles' biography conjoined with scriptural insights from one who knows it intimately make this a splendid introduction for those new to Foucauld and a source of deeper understanding for those long acquainted with the Universal Brother. -- Bonnie Thurston Biblical scholar, poet, author of Hidden in God: Discovering the Desert Vision of Charles de Foucauld
