Vincent De Paul and Charity: A Contemporary Portrait of His Life and Apostolic Spirit

by Andre Dodin

The name of Vincent de Paul is so inexorably connected with charity that we tend to forget the man behind the Society that bears his name. In this readable biography, Andre Dodin introduces us to an attractive and strong personality who lived at a difficult time in the history of his native France. Dodin has divided the book into three the first recounts the life story of Vincent de Paul the man, the second examines the spirituality of Vincent de Paul the saint, and the third features excerpts from his writings.
