The book Damien Of Molokai 1840-1889 by Irene Caudwell is a biography of Father Damien, a Belgian Catholic priest who devoted his life to serving lepers in the Hawaiian island of Molokai. The book details Damien's early life and his decision to become a missionary, his arrival in Hawaii, and his work among the lepers of Molokai. It also documents the challenges he faced, including the harsh living conditions on the island and the prejudice he encountered from some members of the Catholic Church. Despite these challenges, Damien remained committed to his work and became a beloved figure among the lepers, earning the nickname the apostle of the lepers. The book also explores Damien's spiritual journey and his eventual death from leprosy. Overall, Damien Of Molokai 1840-1889 is a moving tribute to a remarkable man who dedicated his life to helping those in need.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
