The Red Lacquered Gate: The Early Days of the Columban Fathers and the Courage and Faith of Its Founder, Fr. Edward Galvin - Hardcover
Synopsis
Fr. Edward "Ned" Galvin was born in Ireland in 1882, the oldest in a family of seven children. After he was ordained to the Catholic priesthood, he realized that there were more priests in his native land than parishes. So Ned Galvin immigrated to the United States and turned a struggling church in Brooklyn into a thriving parish. But Father Galvin had a secret desire to do missionary work. He was especially attracted to China and had read all the books on the subject his local library could provide. Finally, his wish was granted, and he set out with a group of dedicated helpers on a mission to the Far East. William E. Barrett created this colorful, dramatic portrait of an unusual man whose strong Catholic faith helped him survive the horrors and heartbreak of his demanding mission to China.

About the Author
William E. Barrett (1900-1986), who spent much of his adult life in Colorado, wrote numerous books and short stories. His novel The Left Hand of God went into 10 translations and was made into a 1955 movie starring Humphrey Bogart. The Lilies of the Field was made into a movie in 1963 and starred Sidney Poitier.
Four of Mr. Barrett s books were purchased for films: The Left Hand of God; The Lilies of the Field; The Wine and the Music, produced as Pieces of Dreams in 1970; and The Man From Rome, which was purchased but never produced.
