Stephen Singular By Their Works: Profiles of Men of Faith ip 0061161454 / 9780061161452 This coffee-table sized book, profiling 65 Knights of Columbus whose lives span the entire 124-year history of the Order, is a lively, lavishly-illustrated look at the lives of men whose lives and faith were powerfully influenced by their membership in the Knights of Columbus. By Their Works includes chapters on many well-known Knights including Babe Ruth, Vince Lombardi, Joyce Kilmer, Gov. Al Smith and others, but it also includes many extraordinary but less well known Knights, such as Father Thomas Mulcrone and James Connolly, the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in modern times; Lt. Daniel O’Callaghan, a New York City fireman who lost his life trying to rescue others at the World Trade Center on 9/11; and Sgt. Maj. Dan Daily, a two-time Medal of Honor winner once described by the commandant of the Marine Corps as “the outstanding Marine of all time.” Others profiled include six priests, Knights of Columbus and saints of the Catholic Church, who were martyred in Mexico during the Cristeros rebellion of the 1920s. Large trim size of 11 x 11. Includes dozens of photographs and other illustrations. Length: 142 pages Edition: Hardcover Price:
