The Violence of Love by Oscar A. Romero

4.0

I've been reading this on and off for devotionals for almost a year. It is selections of Archbishop Romero's sermons and homilies, often formatted as poetry. While there are different chapters with apparently different themes (e.g., "Evangelizer of the People", "The Bright Light of Christ", ...), the selections are presented in strict chronological order, which means focus can shift from reading to reading. However, the words are quite powerful and have often been a challenge to me as an affluent Western Christian as well as excellent reminders of the kingdom of God.
