Why read it?
1 author picked All Is Grace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I consider Dorothy Day one of the greatest peacemakers in modern history, and as Pope Francis said when he addressed Congress, one of the all-time greatest Americans.

From John's list on the greatest modern peacemakers.
