Saturday Specials offer a limited-time discount on a featured book. This week's selection is Saint Oscar Romero!
This biography by Kerry Walters offers an inspiring look at St. Oscar’s life, starting in childhood and then tracing his evolution from a conscientious but unremarkable (and at times curmudgeonly) priest to a heroic prophet and—finally—a martyr, gunned down in 1980 while celebrating Mass.
The “revolution of Christ’s love” that so moved St. Oscar is as relevant to our own lives as it was to an El Salvador torn by civil unrest: motivated by the power of love instead of arms; seeking not the overthrow but the conversion of society; and asserting that all people are equally beloved by God and equally deserving of the world’s resources.
St. Oscar has become a symbol for our time: a Christian hero who dared all, risked all, and sacrificed all for the sake of love. Now through Monday, July 4, this book is only $5.99! |
