Description: This book offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and struggles of Jesuit missionaries in 17th century New France. The author, a Jesuit himself, provides a vivid account of the challenges and triumphs of converting the Huron people to Christianity. Through detailed descriptions of their missions, the author paints a compelling picture of the cultural differences between the Huron and French people and the delicate dance of negotiation and compromise required to build bridges between them. The text reveals the deeply personal spiritual struggles of the missionaries as they grapple with the power of indigenous spiritual practices, the threat of Iroquois violence, and the difficult task of translating Christian beliefs into a new language and cultural context. This book offers a rare insight into the realities of colonial life and the persistent human desire to connect with the divine.
