Growing up in the shadow of World War II, in a small town with a simple upbringing, young Ben Nebres learned very early that life is difficult and he would do well to spend less time complaining and more time finding solutions. So find solutions he did.

Bienvenido Nebres, SJ takes us through the formative years of his childhood and his education, through the harrowing Martial Law years as he played a pivotal role in the revolution and rebuilding of a wounded nation. His quest to close the poverty gap in the Philippines by way of education guided him through his years as the Ateneo de Manila University president and led him to the honor of a National Scientist award.

A deeply inspiring memoir, At the Crossroads of Church and World is the story of a man and his unwavering love for the country he serves.
