Father Damien, famous for his missionary work with exiled lepers on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, is finally Saint Damien. His sanctity took 120 years to become officially recognized, but between his death in 1889 and his canonization in 2009--amid creeping secularization and suspicion of the missionary spirit he so much embodied--Fr. Damien De Veuster never faded from the world's memory. What kept him there? What keeps him there now? To find an answer, Belgian historian and journalist Jan De Volder sifted through Father Damien's personal correspondence as well as the Vatican archives. With careful and even-handed expertise, De Volder follows Father Damien's transformation from the stout, somewhat haughty missionary of his youth, bounding from Europe to Hawaii and straight into seemingly tireless priestly work, to the humble and loving shepherd of souls who eventually succumbed to the same disease that ravaged his flock. De Volder finds that--as spiritual father, caretaker, teacher, and advocate--Father Damien accomplished many heroic feats for these poor outcasts. Yet the greatest gift he gave them was their transformation from a disordered, lawless throng exiled in desperate anarchy into a living community built on Jesus Christ, a community in which they learned to care for one another. Every generation seems to have its own image of this world-famous priest. Already during his life on Molokai and at his death in 1889, many considered him a holy man. Even today, in the highly secularized Western world, he is widely admired. In 2005 his native Belgium honored him with the title "the greatest Belgian" in polling conducted by their public broadcasting service. Statues honor his memory in the National Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., and at the entrance to the Hawaiian State Capitol in Honolulu. In 1995, in the presence of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Pope John Paul II beatified him in Brussels, Belgium; and in 2009 Pope Benedict XVI canonized him in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Today Father Damien is the unofficial patron of outcasts and those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. Illustrated with many photos. De Volder contends that the common thread running through the saint's life, the spirit of Father Damien that so speaks to the world, is at once uniquely Christian, fully human, and as important today as ever before.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Father Damien by Robert Louis StevensonFather Damien (Damien de Veuster, 1840-1889) was a Roman Catholic missionary from Belgium. He went to the leper settlement in Molokai in 1873, where he helped the sick with the disease. Damien himself contracted leprosy and died of it in 1889. Robert Louis Stevenson's pamphlet, Father Damien (March 1890) was a response to a letter from the Rev. CM Hyde published in The Presbyterian newspaper on October 26, 1889.In the letter, Dr. Hyde criticized Damien's work in the leper settlement, with which Stevenson was outraged. Robert Louis Stevenson was outraged that what he perceived to be Damien's selfless work with lepers could be censored.Robert Louis Stevenson's response was deeply contemptuous, attacking Hyde personally. In fact, his pamphlet was full of such vitriol, he was convinced (wrongly) that he would be sued for defamation.In Father Damien Stevenson he quotes long passages from Hyde's letter, refuting his statements point by point. For example, quoting Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson writes:
