Jean De Brebeuf Saint Among The Hurons by Francis X Talbot

Jean De Brebeuf, Saint Among The Hurons
By Francis X Talbot

For nineteen years, black bearded and black robed Jean de Brebeuf would live among the Native American tribe known as the Hurons. This man would learn their language, their ways and customs, eating bear and moose, traveling by paddle in canoes and more. Eventually he would build his rough little chapel amidst their long houses and win their respect and love, leading a group of them into the Christian faith. In the Canadian wilderness there also lived the enemy of the Hurons, the Iroquois. Jean would see new converts shunned, even tortured along with his fellow priests. And in 1649 Brefeuf himself would die by Iroquois hands. This fast-paced Catholic book is more than just a biography; it tells the story of the fall of New France in North America, but partially redeemed by the blood of martyrs.
