Summary:

Across the ages God has consistently attracted a few in every crowd who would make and keep vows, and called them to stick out, act out and speak out.

In The New Friars Scott Bessenecker profiles young Christians who have voluntarily removed themselves from the status quo in order to seek justice and mercy with the poorest of the world's poor. These new friars are carrying on the work of the monastic tradition, the spirit of Francis and Clare of Assisi, St. Patrick and St. Brigid, the Jesuits and Nestorians and Moravians.

The New Friars will show you that with God all things--even uncommon acts of courageous faith--are possible.
