The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Colour Blind Faith, The Life of Father Stan Brennan: how one dogged Franciscan changed a community's life under apartheid by David Gemmell

“Colour Blind Faith” recounts the life of Father Stan, whose dogged resistance to the might of the South African apartheid machine brought comfort and opportunity to a community that would otherwise have been little more than distressing statistic in the country’s roll of dishonour. Father Stan’s life stands as a role model for every person who feels disempowered in today’s world or who is tempted to fall back on the excuse that one person can never make a difference.
