 Faithful Community
by Philip E. Wheaton
Faithful Community documents the growth and constant revival of a Christian base community (CBC) in northern Nicaragua. The author, long time activist and liberation theologist, presents a story of survival and hope in the midst of extreme suffering and despair. Despite the community's castigation and rejection by the Catholic hierarchy simply because of their rfusal to denounce their loyalty to the Sandanista Revolution, they have become one of the largest Christian base communities in Nicaragua today.
 Red
Thread
A Spiritual Journal of Accompaniment,
Trauma and Healing
by Jennifer Atlee-Loudon
"Red Thread is a powerful, moving and profound
account of the crucifixion of Nicaragua, told through the lives and
deaths of the poor. One of the most engrossing and shattering books
I have read in a long time. That the author lived to tell the tale is
itself astonishing. That her spirit survived the impact of so many deaths
is a witness to resurrection. The sheer beauty of the writing is healing
balm. - Walter Wink, author of The Powers that Be
A profound and deeply moving account of the author's spiritual
journey as a witness to the shattering effects of the US-funded contra
war on the rural poor in Nicaragua. Using journals, dream work
and poetry, Jenny Atlee writes with incredible honesty about remembering,
mourning, healing, reconstructing, re-empowerment and ultimately, resurrection.
With an inspiring passion, she shows how deeply rooted in us all is
the power to resist evil and affirm life.

 The
Story of a Great Love:
Life with the Guatemalan "Communities of Population in Resistance
A Spiritual Journal
by Ricardo Falla, SJ
"Read well these pages as they introduce the wandering
witness of Ricardo Falla. The search he begins without even knowing
it has begun will culminate in conversion to a love he did not even
know existed. Thus the priest who came to lead, to instruct, to tell,
will stay to learn from the people. Few know better than Falla this
people's greatness. Few know better the magnitude of their grief, that
ancient grief of an ancient people bludgeoned into landlessness and
economic submission." - Dianna Ortiz, OSU, Guatemala Human
Rights Commission/USA
"We see first hand the experience of the people
and communities that inspired Ricardo Falla's scholarship, and the stature
of the man who brought their story to the world." - Susanne
