In Mon Dieu, pourquoi?, France's leading champion of the destitute and homeless reflects on his life, faith, and vocation, on Christian faith and the meaning of human life, on pressing contemporary religious and social issues, and on such intimate and burning topics as sexuality and the marriage of priests, the place of women in the church, parenting by same sex partners, and the election of a new pope.

The book by the Abbé Pierre of the Emmaus communities was written just one year before his death on 22 January 2007 at 94. Entitled Why, oh why, my God? the English translation, just published by the World Council of Churches, is now available in the WCC's new online bookshop, along with a host of other WCC titles and standard reference works.
