Going from a Texas "cowboy" to a Trappist monk is a transformation hard to imagine in any case, but almost unbelievable when that "cowboy" is a very violent, vengeful, and stubborn man.
This is the case of Brother Joaquín of the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemane, in Kentucky, whose extraordinary story is vividly narrated in this book by a fellow brother in religion.
This book is also a window into Trappist monastic life, highlighting discipline, prayer, and community living.
