Reviews/Quotes
During the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st, a very large proportion of the growth of The Salvation Army in the United States took place among Hispanic people and in Hispanic corps. It was clear that the chronic obstacles to tjhis ministry- differences of language and culture being the chief among them- had been overcome, and that guture looked very bright. It would be impossible to enumerate all the reasons for the remarkable growth, but the most important ones are clear. Some of these are external factors. Others are internal- characteristics of the Army, its message, its mission and it methods. REVIEWS: General John Larsson, retired international leader of The Salvation Army. - "My warmest congratulations on Triunfarán. This book must have taken you hundreds of hours to research and write, so my thanks for this practical dedication in the service of Hispanic ministry." General Paul Radar, retired international leader of The Salvation Army - "We just received a copy of "Triunfarán." Beautifully produced and filling a vital gap in the history of Army ministry herein the States." Professor William Descoteaux, retired professor Asbury University - "The way the Lord weaves our individual lives into His purposes and interweaves them with the lives of others is sometimes very astonishing when looking back. Your history is a magnificent picture of this.
