"Más allá de las cenizas" es una historia verídica de supervivencia y triunfo. Se trata de una fe resiliente en momentos desafiantes, de liberaciones milagrosas, y de un despertar al poder de la gracia en nuestra vida diaria. Es un poderoso recordatorio de que Dios es un Amigo fiel. Nos ama y está a nuestro lado a pesar de nuestros errores y fracasos, mientras aprendemos a confiar completamente en él. Hija de misioneros adventistas que servían en México, Marlyn Olsen Vistaunet cuenta su historia con honestidad y claridad. De ser secuestrada en México a los tres años de edad, a perder a su hermano luego de un incendio en su casa y a ser drogada y abusada de adulta, la autora usa los traumas y las decepciones del pasado como escalones que la acercaron a una relación de amor con Cristo y una vida de servicio en su causa.

Violence against women has increased throughout Mexico and in other countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Peru. Law enforcement officials have often failed or refused to undertake investigations and prosecutions, creating a climate of impunity for perpetrators and denying truth and justice to survivors of violence and victims’ relatives. Terrorizing Women is an impassioned yet rigorously analytical response to the escalation in violence against women in Latin America during the past two decades. It is part of a feminist effort to categoriz...
