History & Biography

“Ajtzip, who worked closely with Father Stanley Rother, describes the priest’s commitment to fully convivir—to share in full community with the people of Santiago Atitlán—even at the price of his own life. This deeply personal and highly readable book—part memoir, part religious reflection, and part alternative history of Guatemala from an indigenous perspective—offers a unique and valuable addition to our understanding of the interstices of faith, culture, violence, and devotion.”
