THEA BOWMAN - FAITHFUL AND FREE

by Maurice J Nutt

With every passing year since her death in 1990, more people are recognising Sister Thea Bowman as one of the most inspiring figures in American Catholic history.  This granddaughter of slaves became Catholic on her own initiative at the age of nine.  As a Franciscan sister, she lived a wide-ranging ministry of joy, music and justice.

Now Father Maurice J Nutt offers a new biography of Sister Thea that introduces her and sheds new light on who she was.  Drawing on careful research and the insights of people who were close to her, Nutt explores her personality. her passion, her mission and her prayer.
