The Flavor of Our Faith

Publisher Description

Karen Valentin grew up like many Hispanic American Christians--attempting to balance their unique cultural, social, and spiritual identities as Americans, as Latinos, and as Christians.?"The Flavor of Our Faith" is a spiritual journey that celebrates the unique Hispanic American experience. Through a series of meditations that open with a Bible verse and close with a prayer, Karen--alongwith her uncle, Reverend Edwin Aymat--reflects on moments in her life shared by many Hispanic families and individuals in the United States. ?These stories embody values learned and challenges faced by first-, second-, and third-generation Hispanic Americans as they embrace the culture they live in without losing the rich traditions of their heritage. What results, is a deeper way of embracing one's own culture as well as a faith, influenced by many flavors.
