{"product_id":"martyr-of-the-amazon-roseanne-murphy-9781570757358","title":"Martyr of the Amazon","description":"The murder in 2005 of an American nun, Sister Dorothy Stang, focused the world's attention on the plight of poor farmers in the Brazilian Amazon and their struggles against rapacious developers. Sister Dorothy had worked in Brazil for forty years. From a conventional nun in the pre-Vatican II era, she had developed a keen social conscience and, increasingly, a deep, mystical commitment to the integrity of Creation. These ideals combined in her advocacy for the rights of the poor and her defense of the imperiled rain forest. They also earned her the enmity of land-grabbing ranchers who repeatedly threatened her. \"All I ask,\" she wrote, \"is God's grace to help me keep on this journey, fighting for the people to have a more egalitarian life and that we learn to respect Gods creation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roseanne Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570757356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570757358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.56w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 93","brand":"Roseanne Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047109390591,"sku":"9781570757358","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1488ca57-53b4-47ad-bcbe-d1ccfc4f7854.jpg?v=1684988310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/martyr-of-the-amazon-roseanne-murphy-9781570757358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
