I Am Indeed Your Brother: A Servant of Jesus Among Allah's Poor

By Bob McCahill

For over forty years, Bob McCahill, a Maryknoll priest, has pursued an unusual witness among the Muslim poor of Bangladesh. Rather than traditional pastoral work, McCahill simply tries to live as a friend and brother to his Muslim, neighbors, offering a positive witness to the Gospel ideals of service and love. In a series of small towns he has lived a life of utter simplicity, serving the sick, showing respect for Muslim piety, and explaining to all those who inquire the reasons for his way of life and good works. Each year, for the past forty years, McCahill has written home with a letter describing his daily life in Bangladesh. (For many years these letters have appeared at Christmas time in The National Catholic Reporter?) This book collects his letters-offering a remarkable portrait of Christian solidarity along with the lessons that emerge from the "dialogue of life." Book jacket.
