Product Description
Review
'Finola Kennedy... has now turned her exceptional talents to providing a thorough, thoughtful, even-handed life of Frank Duff... [a] meticulously researched study.' --The Irish Catholic
'...this is a fine biography and Duff has been fortunate in having such a sympathetic yet fair and meticulous biographer as Finola Kennedy' --Irish Examiner
This is a timely book that seeks to revitalise a faith that it all too apt to flag in this time of crisis. Dooley faces up to the clerical sex-abuse scandals, but shows us a church that still keeps the flame of faith alive... [his] heartfelt plea deserves to be heard. --The Tablet

Product Description
The Irish Times described Frank Duff as 'the founder of the largest international association that has originated in Ireland. Yet he has been, among Irish leaders of his generation, the least publicised.' Duff was not only a major religious figure; he also had a distinct influence on the evolution of modern Irish society. A friend of Irish leaders including Michael Collins, W. T. Cosgrave and Éamon de Valera, he avoided the cult of celebrity which might well have befallen him as the founder of an organisation which today has over four million active members and ten million auxiliary members in more than one hundred and seventy countries. Like most saintly people, his greatest opposition came from local Church figures and this is a vital part of the story.
