Title: We, the Ordinary People of the Streets
Description: "In these posthumously published texts, Delbrel draws from her own experiences living in Ivry, witnessing to the possibility of a life at one rooted radically in the Church and fully engaged in the world. Spanning the whole of Delbrel's life - from a piece she wrote as a seventeen-year-old atheist to an essay on the Christian life written just before her death - these passionate literary texts explore the Christian's role in a secular society, the difficulty of faith in an atheistic environment, the need for prayer, the centrality of the Church, and the fundamental importance of loving both God and our neighbors."--Jacket.
