LONGWOOD, FL -- Author Leonard Pluta believes that each person has a mission to fulfill and a destiny
to meet. In his book Father of Thousand Orphans, ($32.99,
paperback, 9781613792063; $48.99, hardcover, 9781613792070) Pluta tells a story
of how one weak man, Francis Pluta, saves the lives of a thousand orphans. When
Francis Pluta entered a seminary in Poland to become a Catholic priest, he had
no idea of the journey God would take him on. From Poland to a communist
Russian prison camp and finally to India, Father Francis' experiences challenge
his faith and trust. When he becomes a father to a thousand orphans, he finds
his true calling - but not without life-threatening encounters along the way.
Although Father Francis believes that his life is near its end, he knows
that he is responsible for the innocent boys and girls who need shelter and a safe
environment. Father of Thousand Orphans
allows people to travel with Father Francis as he continually seeks a home for
"His children": somewhere that they can remember their motherland in hopes that
they will return to help the war-torn country. Leonard Pluta encourages readers
to relive one of the darkest times in history by relating to how the true and
faithful Lord fulfills His promise to "never leave thee nor forsake thee."
A native of
Poland, Leonard Pluta came to Canada in 1957. He studied and worked for many
years until 1967 when he was awarded a Ph.D. degree in economics. This
milestone enabled Pluta to teach "the dismal science." After forty years of an enjoyable
but remarkably unsuccessful academic career at the small university in Nova Scotia,
he retired to devote his time to cutting firewood, gardening and raising
peacocks. Leonard Pluta expressed that it important
to note that Father of Thousand Orphans was
written by itself with very little intervention on his part.
