A series of interviews with His Eminence Francis Cardinal Arinze

God's Invisible Hand: The Life And Work Of Francis Cardinal Arinze by journalist Gerard O'Connell compiles a series of interviews with His Eminence Francis Cardinal Arinze, the only African cardinal currently heading a Vatican department. Essentially relating the story of Arinze's life in his own words, from his conversion to Christianity at age nine to studying in Rome and London, to working as a priest in Nigeria, becoming the world's youngest bishop, being appointed by Pope John Paul II in 1982 to lead the Catholic Church's dialogue with major world religions, and more, God's Invisible Hand offers Arinze's reflections upon his extraordinary journey of faith and labor in God's name. A handful of black-and-white photographs round out this compelling primary source of one man's dedication to God's cause.
