Evelyn Mattern (author) was a well-known peace activist. writer,
teacher, and world traveler. The acclaimed author of ""Why not
Become Fire?"" and ""Blessed are You: The Beatitudes and our
Survival"" (Ave Maria Press), Mattern was once described as "a
gentle burr in the side of the rich and powerful, and a comfort and
confidante to the powerless." Although Mattern passed away in late
2003 after a battle with cancer, her writings reflect her
passionate, unwavering belief in a world where justice, peace, and
environmental advocacy are the norm rather than the exception.
