Her earliest theological formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Cuba during the height of political unrest and raised three children alone after her husband passed away. Combining personal storytelling with biblical reflection, Armas shows us how voices on the margins--those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education--have more to teach us about following God than we realize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbuelita Faith\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians in society and in the Bible--mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters--whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love. The author's exploration of abuelita theology will help people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds reflect on the abuelitas in their lives and ministries and on ways they can live out abuelita faith every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kat Armas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.51w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587435089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKat Armas\u003c\/b\u003e (MDiv and MAT, Fuller Theological Seminary), a Cuban-American writer and speaker, hosts \u003ci\u003eThe Protagonistas \u003c\/i\u003epodcast, where she highlights stories of everyday women of color, including writers, pastors, church leaders, and theologians.
