"Father Jerry Martinson (1942-2017) was a Jesuit missionary priest serving in Taiwan, well-known for his TV productions, documentaries, talks and workshops throughout Asia. His popular TV series on learning English made "Uncle Jerry" a household name. Living and working at Taipei's Kuangchi Program Service for over 40 years, Fr. Jerry's life was remarkable active and productive. But he also had a deep, contemplative side. 'Joy in Solitude' is the story of his interior life, showing the growth in spirit of a joyful and generous priest, always in search of what more he could do for God and his people, especially thos most in need."
