Oscar Romero and the Communion of the Saints

This richly illustrated biography tells Oscar Romero's courageous story, beginning with his humble origins and his early life as a relatively conservative priest and bishop, to the astonishing transformation that occurred in the last three years of his life.  It offers a stunning portrait of the gospel challenge for our time.
