The film "Of Gods and Men," depicted their decision to remain with their Algerian-Muslim neighbors, even when knowing their lives were at risk.Here, in writings available in English for the first time, readers can discover that de Chergé's significance extends far beyond the events of his last days. His was a Christian spirituality rooted in hope, conversion, humility, constancy, and what he called the martyrdom of love.
