Mountains Beyond Mountains
by Tracy Kidder
A truly remarkable man. The basis of his life's work is his "preferential option for the poor" which has been described in this way:
The concept of “a preferential option for the poor” challenges us to be advocates for the voiceless and powerless among us. Those who are in any way and for any reason deprived, marginalized, or vulnerable have a special moral claim on the community. As a matter of both justice and charity, we must put in place structures and systems to address and meet their needs, so that they might participate more fully in the common good and thereby flourish more fully as human persons
