Hidden In God: Discovering The Desert Vision Of Charles De Foucauld

Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) was a complex man. Born into French aristocracy, he failed as a military officer, but rediscovered his childhood Catholic faith and eventually lived voluntarily as an impoverished priest/hermit in the Sahara Desert in Algeria. Foucauld wanted to emulate the hidden life of Jesus in Nazareth and in doing so, left a spiritual legacy that attracted such figures as Dorothy Day and author, poet, and spiritual director Bonnie Thurston.Published in celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of Charles de Foucauld's death on December 1, 1916, Hidden in God highlights the profound conversion that led Foucauld to embrace the life of a hermit in the Sahara, where he was eventually murdered by a band of marauders.
