The Sunrise of the Soul: Meditations on Prayerful Stillness, Silence, Solitude, and Service in the Spirit of St. Francis of Assisi
Straub's journey began in an empty church in Rome during a moment of grace when the hard shell of his ardent atheism was penetrated by a spark of God. He was led to create films focusing on the plight of the poor, then eventually lived among them. In Haiti he now operates a home of hope for 64 abandoned children, while practicing vigils of silence. 224 pages, softcover. Paraclete.
