  Gustavo Gutierrez's latest and most moving book opens with a crowd of two million people gathered in his native Lima, Peru, to greet John Paul II. A gouple speak for them all: 'Holy Father, we are hungry. We suffer affliction, we lack work, we are sick. Our hearts are crushed by suffering as we see out tubercular wives giving birth, our children dying, our sons and daughters growing up weak and without a future. But despote all this, we believe in the God of life, and we struggle for this life in the ace of death.' How can such people believe in a God of life? That is what this book explains.
