"If I were to choose a single book by means of which to introduce North Americans to the real meaning of liberation theology, it would be this book." -- From the Foreword, Robert McAfee Brown<br><br>"More than any other book I know, Mev Puleo's <i>The Struggle is One, </i>brings alive the world of liberation theology in contemporary Brazil for the North American reader. We meet the men and women from both the educated elites and the desperately poor <i>favelas </i>and rural areas whose burning faith and committed lives are expressed in the continued re-creation of a Christian vision and <i>praxis </i>of prophetic struggle." -- Rosemary Radford Ruether<br><br>"While other books on liberation theology help us to understand its significance in terms of doctrine, Mev Puleo's <i>The Struggle is One, </i>a book full of 'living human documents,' leads us right to the heart of its spirituality." -- Henri Nouwen<br><br>"In a way that is difficult to find in other forms, Mev Puleo's book, <i>The Struggle is One, </i>presents first hand information by asking incisive questions in a gentle and gracious manner. Members of Christian communities as well as bishops are given a voice. But perhaps what speaks more powerfully are the photographic images. Mev Puleo is an artist who vividly portrays the life and faith of a people." -- Gustavo Gutierrez<br><br>"An excellent contribution to liberation theology in Latin America. I strongly recommend it." -- James Cone<br><br>"This book puts real faces and vibrant content into liberation theology." -- Harvey Cox
