This definitive biography of Servant of God Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyễn Văn Thuận offers a compelling portrait of heroic faith, written by his sister Élisabeth in collaboration with Father Stefaan Lecleir. 

Drawing from rare family stories and eyewitness testimony, the book chronicles Thuan’s extraordinary journey—from his noble Vietnamese Christian heritage to his unjust thirteen-year imprisonment by Communist authorities.

Told with warmth and detail, the narrative highlights Thuan’s profound devotion to the Eucharist, his unwavering hope amid suffering, and his Christ-like love for his persecutors. 

Readers will discover a priest and bishop whose interior life became a source of strength not only for himself, but also for those who encountered him—even in prison. The biography also sheds new light on his family’s pivotal role in Vietnam’s modern history, especially through his uncle, President Ngo Dinh Diem, and the nation’s persecuted Catholic legacy.

This is more than a historical account—it’s a spiritual journey through suffering, faith, and the mystery of redemptive love. 

Including miraculous events and testimonies from those who knew him best, this biography is a moving tribute to a modern confessor of the faith whose life continues to inspire Catholics around the world.
