Seamlessly combining spiritual writing, reportage, travel narrative, humor, and recent history, bestselling author James Martin recalls his time as a young Jesuit working with the refugees in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Drawing on his previous experience in the business world, he imagined that he had much to teach the refugees. But they would end up teaching him much more about life, about survival and faith, and about love and friendship. With stories that are by turns frankly incredible, darkly comic, inspirational, tragic, and always provocative, this compelling work is a wonderfully realized tribute to our shared humanity.

About the Author:
James Martin is a Jesuit priest, culture editor of America magazine, and the author of many books including the New York Times bestseller The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and My Life with the Saints (which has sold over 100,000 copies). A frequent commentator on NPR, a recurring guest as chaplain to The Colbert Report, and a blogger on the HuffingtonPost, he is widely regarded as one of the most popular Catholic writers today.
Review:
A can t-put-it down page-turner. It is as compelling as the best of fiction, but true. In reading it, in meeting the people he comes to know and love, you will learn about parts of the world which are no more than names on a map for most Western people. You will learn about sorrow and injustice on a scale you can scarcely imagine. But you will also witness the triumph of faith and love and the human spirit. --Catholic News Service
