(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Threatened With Resurrection: Prayers and Poems from an Exiled Guatemalan (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

This is a beautiful bi-lingual book. It really offers a look at some of the real feelings that at least one Guatemalan was having during the years of civil war. The original Spanish is on the left-hand page, and the English translation is on the right. In the back, there is a Notes section where the English reader can reference some of this historical references made in the poems and prayers (the deaths of certain people was one of the most helpful).

As I do a lot of work in Guatemala, I found this book to be very touching. I am actually looking for more copies to give away as presents. It would appeal to people who are interested in Christianity, Latin American history, and Guatemala in general.
