Oscar Romero

Overview

It is an extraordinary privilege to read this account of Oscar Romero because it reveals his deep inner spirit. To know him in this way becomes a call to find the face of God in the poor, as he did, and to live the way of the gospel love, whatever the cost. --Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton

With martyrs like this, there is hope for humanity. It is that, so beautifully, that this book shows us. --Jon Sobrino, S.J.
