Oscar Romero: Love Must Win Out by Kevin Clarke

This biography of a people's saint traces the events leading up to the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero at a chapel altar in San Salvador and the reverberations of that day in El Salvador and beyond. With the cause for Romero's beatification reportedly moving along rapidly now at the Vatican, this book gives special attention to how Romero's heroic example provides a model for our time. This in-depth look at Archbishop Romero, the pastor-defender of the poor and great witness of the faith, offers a prism through which to view a Catholic understanding of liberation and how to be a church of the poor, for the poor, as Pope Francis calls us to be.

"A superb short introduction to the life of one of the great prophets of the 20th century. Kevin Clarke's beautifully written and solidly researched biography of Archbishop Romero is an inspiring introduction to the life of a man who gave everything-including his life-for the poor, for the church and for God. Highly recommended."  -- James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
