Summary:

"Life Here Together tells the story of the seven Tibhirine monks, kidnapped and murdered in 1996 during Algeria's "black decade," and speaks to the prophetic witness of the monks and what it meant to be deeply tethered-to each other, to their place, to their monastic tradition, and ultimately to the Christ they followed faithfully"-- Provided by publisher.
