Uncommon Faith

This book explains the growth and development of Opus Dei in the context of cultural and political forces at the time and in the words of those who first met the founder, St. Josemaria Escriva.

St. Josemaria Escriva was born in Spain in 1902 and was ordained a priest in 1926. In 1928, he received the divine inspiration to found Opus Dei, a Catholic organization of lay people and priests who try to grow close to God through their ordinary lives. St. Josemaria died in 1975 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
