This book is a political and theological reflection on the violence and injustice that has taken place in Mexico and Central America since 2006 as a result of the drug war. In order to understand and respond to this conflict in the age of globalization, William A. Walker III combines the work of philosopher Enrique Dussel and theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar to develop a theology of the drug war that transcends both a Eurocentric conception of the world and a merely political account of salvation. Walker also highlights examples of Christian and church-based approaches to practicing neighborliness and resistance to drug trade-related violence, challenging both Christians and non-Christians to participate in the creation of a more just and merciful society.

"O ye of little faith!" These are not words a child of God wants to hear. But how does one have "big faith"? How do we have the faith that can move mountains, heal the sick, and supply our needs? How do we step out in faith as the apostle Peter did when he walked on the water? More importantly, how do we have the kind of faith that pleases God? These and other questions regarding faith have plagued Christians for centuries. Faithwalkers: A Step-by-Step Guide to Pleasing God through Faith answers these questions in simple, down-to-earth language, using examples, analogies, and faith-building stories from the Bible. You will be transported back in time to a "dark and stormy night" on the Sea of Galilee, where twelve men were being tossed by a troubled sea. You will experience the exhilaration as one of those men decided to take a leap of faith, step out of the little ship, and walk by faith toward Jesus. You will join him in the fear of failure, and the joy of being saved by the only One who could. You will be challenged to examine your own relationship with Jesus, discovering the obstacles to walking hand-in-hand with Him in true faith. You will build the "faith muscles" needed to be of big faith.

"When we dig down into the soul we discover the plan of salvation: God chose to walk with us in the person of Jesus. The way of the cross is a sojourn of the soul that makes us faith walkers, not sightseers: we walk by faith, not by sight." "We embark on this journey because we believe that when the Word was made flesh, God became incarnate in all the experiences of our lives. It is the presence - the real presence - of compassionate companions we meet along the way whose sharing of self and stories gives us insight into our souls." "The roadsign that guides us on this way of faith is a sign found on the bulletin board of a college campus ministry office: "Religion is for those people who are afraid of going to hell; Spirituality is for those who have been there." When we dare to embark on this soulful journey, we will have the ashes and scars to show where we have been: to hell and back again. That is why the way of the cross is not a stroll through pious fields but a dangerous dance through a spiritual valley of tears and fears." "In Faith Walkers, Father Nassal tells the stories of those who have suffered and yet live with hope. If you have ever been hurt in life, this book will give you new strength."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
