Book Description
Dom Helder Camara (1909-1999) was one of the great prophets of the Catholic church in the twentieth century. As archbishop of Recife, Brazil he gained an international reputation as a champion of human rights during the era of military dictatorship and for his dedication to the poor. Banned from the media in his own country, he toured the world denouncing oppression in the Third World and making the link between the gospel and liberation. In his many books he communicated a joy-filled, mystical love of God and creation. These selections from his writings highlight his distinctive blend of spirituality and social vision.

Book Description
A most believable tract. A most convincing homily. A lovable reading experience. 'The Long Island Catholic' This is a beautiful little book in both content and format. Photographs show Dom Helder in action with people. Poetry alternates with prose to get across his message. This is a good way to become acquainted with the thought and the personality of a dynamic Brazilian archbishop noted for his espousal of the cause of poor people everywhere but especially in his native country. 'Concern' You give more than a book when you give this book-jewel to a friend. You give a deep insight into life's real meaning. 'Religion Teacher's Journal' Camara's brief essays and poems are arresting for their simplicity and depth of vision, and are encouraging because of the realistic yet quietly hopeful tone with which they argue for sustained action toward global justice. 'Commonweal'

Book Description
"When I feed the poor, they call me a saint; when I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist." ** This quotation given by the protagonist Dom Helder Camara is also the motto of this book. The book shows Camara's life from his childhood over the first pastoral steps up to him as the educationalist, bureaucrat and politician. As an archbishop for twenty years in Olinda and Recife Helder Camara is therefore referred to as "Man of the people in Recife". The "brother of the poor" criticised the political system in his motherland Brasil openly and by this risked his life more than once. His international reputation is still actual: moving theology of liberation, Camara provoces effects in Church and society life all over the world.

Book Description
Dom Helder Camara puts forward a series of beautiful reflections on the role of human beings as co-creators of the universe. He writes with the sensitivity of a poet and the simplicity of one who is deeply spiritual. The reflections take us through the failures of our human condition to a discovery of the wonder and value of creation. Once started it is hard to put down. It is a work of simplicity, peace and insight. Pastoral Life The depth of Camara's ideas, symbols, and language are striking. This is a very worthwhile book for meditation. Emmanuel Magazine
