Never Stop Walking

This is not your usual biography of a saint. The achievements and the struggles of this tireless, devoted, yet very human pioneer are chronicled in straightforward, unadorned prose. Yet plain facts are enough to show how an 18th-century visionary spurned a career as a successful lawyer to spend his life in poverty; to serve the spiritual needs of poor nomadic shepherds; to found the Redemptorist Congregation; and to become the most recent person named a Doctor of the Church.

Never Stop Walking identifies the key stages in St. Alphonsus' life, and reveals him as a seeker who wrestled with conflicting dreams--a humble servant to the "most abandoned," and achiever of great things for Christ.

As founder of the Redemptorists, Alphonsus left his mark not only on the worldwide Congregation but also on the Rule of the Redemptoristine Sisters--and on the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, founded by Redemptorist Louis Florent Gillet.
