Welcome to the Bangkok Slaughterhouse
100% of all proceeds of the sale of this book will be donated to the Human Development Fund in Bangkok, Thailand The Reverend Joseph H. Maier, C.Ss.R., is a Redemptorist priest from the United States. He came to Thailand in 1967 as a missionary, serving in north Isan and then among the Hmong in Laos. In 1972, he established the Human Development Foundation in Bangkok's Klong Toey slum, where he has lived and worked for more than 30 years. Threatened and shot at, the unwavering priest has over the years become a no-nonsense, street-smart friend to the poor, from whom he draws constant inspiration. Father Joe, as he's called, has established more than thirty schools, five shelters for street kids, and several projects for women and children with AIDS, working with and against authority, earning enmity and praise in equal measure. In Welcome to the Bangkok Slaughterhouse, he tells the heartbreaking and heartwarming stories of the poorest of Thailand's poor, each a gem guaranteed to bring anger, tears, and joy.

The Open Gate of Mercy
As the Parish Priest for the Catholic community living beside Bangkok's main slaughterhouse and founder of the Human Development Foundation - Mercy Centre, Father Joe has been walking arm in arm with his brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, grannies, and children in the city's slums for over 40 years. In The Open Gate of Mercy, Father Joe recounts the stories of the people with whom he has shared his life's work. Each story stretches our worldview and transports us to a universe where we witness the daily lives of slum residents. Father Joe's mission follows the tradition of the ancient literary masters through his heartfelt examination of the human condition. Father Joe guides us on a journey through the heart of a community that he's devoted most of his life in serving. Always with love and respect, he shows us that in spite of a life devoid of privilege, everyone possesses an inner dignity.
