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. As a woman, she stood against every form of injustice, war, and nuclear weapons, all while living with the poor and founding the Catholic Worker movement.

She will soon be canonized as a saint and take her place along with St. Francis of Assisi as one of the greatest Christians of all time.…
From John's list on the greatest modern peacemakers.
