Of God's and Men: The Monks of Tibhirine


I hope this gets some wide circulation!  It is based on the book The Monks of Tibhirine: Faith, Love and Terror in Algeria (St. Martin's Press). 


The Monks of Tibhirine is the true story of Christians willing to die serving a Muslim flock during the political nightmare that unfolds in Algeria during the 1990s. The decapitation of seven French Trappists kidnapped from their monastery in the village of Tibhirine provides the thread for this real life drama of sacrificial love-of Christians who put their lives at risk for their Muslim friends, and Muslims who risk death for Christians.


Thanks Deacon Greg for putting this up today!  I am really looking forward to seeing this film!
