Produktbeschreibung
In the summer of 2005, Kendall Ketterlin was living in Colorado Springs, in the process of buying his first home, working at a bank and planning another trip to D.C. to fundraise for a political action group. Six months after he returned home, he was driving through South Dakota, on his way to theology school in Minnesota and permanently retired from any career in politics. What caused everything in his life to change? Remembering God is the story of a volunteer's experience working Hurricane Katrina relief. First with the Red Cross in Louisiana and then with Catholic Charities in Mississippi. In all, he spent two months, each day experiencing something life changing, in the people he met and situations he met. As he wrote in the introduction: "More than simply sharing my own personal experiences, (Remembering God) is about bringing to light an aspect of Katrina's (and then Rita's) aftermath that's been left in the dark. It's about the impact that Katrina made on the life of a volunteer and sharing the life lessons that I learned almost everyday; to inspire people to look beyond the tragedy and destruction, and think about the incredible impact Katrina had on the lives of the thousands of volunteers who came from all across the country to help." Includes over 60 photos
Autorenporträt
Kendall Ketterlin is a Roman Catholic Seminarian, preparing for ordination to the Priesthood. In the years since his work with Hurricane Katrina, he has spent five years in religious life, first with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood and then the Order of Carmelites. He has continued writing in the areas of both social justice and spirituality. In 2010 he published a short introduction to Catholic teaching regarding the relationship between faith and politics, God and Washington. More recently, he has focused his efforts on re-publishing out of print spiritual masterpieces, bringing these hard to find works into modern print and electronic media. His current writing project is a commentary on the Carmelite Rule, interpreting the wisdom of this quintessential way of life into a contemporary context and adapting its teachings for families, diocesan priests and others living outside the vowed life of the Carmelite Order.
