Murdered in Central America is the riveting and troubling story of these martyred missionaries. Their lives, backgrounds, beliefs, and politics varied widely, but they held a common faith and hope: to better the lives of the poor among whom they lived and worked.
Donna and Edward Brett inform each story with personal detail from letters home and from reminiscences of friends, family, and fellow missionaries. We are taken into their adopted countries: the rural countrysides, the crowded cities, theremote mountains and jungles. Woven skillfully into these narratives are the current and historic realities of life and religion in Central American countries: their bitter colonial heritage, their economic and racial strife, poverty, brutality, war. Murdered in Central America tells the story behind the headlines, while leaving troubling questions about the U.S. role in Central America. |
