About this book
“There is a seeing, not just with the eyes, but with the heart.” — Fr. Pat Twohy, SJ
Fr. Larry Gosselin, OFM, served for years as a priest among the Mescalero Apache People of New Mexico, following in the footsteps of Fr. Albert Braun, OFM, the friar remembered as the “Apostle to the Apache People.” Chasing Rainbows is his tribute to the people who welcomed him: their faith in God (Ussen), their culture and their homeland, and the way the virtues of St. Francis came to life among them.
Chapter by chapter he moves through rainbows and the language of colors, the Apache Christ, the brave Apache heart warrior and the beauty of a people who taught him what it means to walk in blessing.
The book is illustrated in full color with paintings by Melvin C. Herrera, Ye’ila’n, “One Who Paints,” an enrolled member of the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and opens with a foreword by Fr. Jack Clark Robinson, OFM.
