One woman's shining example of Christian social action.

We, the Ordinary People of the Streets comprises the powerful reflections by Madeleine Delbrªl (1904-1964), an award-winning poet, writer, and Catholic layperson whose conviction and insight led her to a life of social work in the atheistic, Communist-dominated city of Ivry-sur-Seine, France.

Delbrªl draws from her own experiences living in Ivry, witnessing to the possibility of a life at once rooted radically in the church and fully engaged in the world. This posthumously published collection spans Delbrªl's life, from a piece she wrote as a seventeen-year-old atheist to her later Christian works. Her passionate essays 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.
