The Attorney -Preacher: A Life Perspective

This story is about a young lawyer who began his judicial career and immediately confronted the powers and social structures that seek to control the sacred ministry of administering justice for their interest. His judicial appointment still needs to be renewed. Then, he acknowledges God’s calling. In Illinois, he carried out activism to abolish the death penalty. In Harrisonburg, he has to face the Immigration Service to defend immigrants. In Richmond, he is called to political activism to change the state government to improve the situation of Latinos and the undocumented. Finally, he accepted an invitation from the then-candidate ex-President of the United States, Barack Obama, to talk with him. He later appeared before the advisers of ex-President Donald Trump in the White House to introduce a proposal for the legalization of undocumented Ministers. In the book’s second part, the professor calls the Church to take responsibility and activate itself to be an agent of social transformation. This book reflects the existential praxis of a Christian who accepted the call to place himself in the center of the world, where the pain of the most vulnerable is, where Jesus is found suffering with those who mourn, crying with those who weep, giving encouragement to the fallen and restoring lives. The book is inspiring and will fill you with faith and hope. Dr. Samuel D. Pagan Rosario, B.A., J..D., M.Div., D.
