Colombia is the least understood of Latin American countries. Its human tragedy, which features terrifying levels of kidnapping, homicide and extortion, is generally ignored or exploited. In this urgent new work Forrest Hylton, who has extensive first-hand experience of living and working in Colombia, explores its history of 150 years of political conflict, characterized by radical-popular mobilization and reactionary repression. Evil Hour in Colombia shows how patterns of political conflict, from the mid-nineteenth century to today's guerilla narco-traffickers and paramilitaries, explain the wear currently destroying Colombian lives, property, communities and territory. In doing so, it traces how Colombia's "coffee capitalism" gave way to the cattle and cocaine republic of the 1980s, and how land, wealth and power have been steadily accumulated by the light-skinned top of the social pyramid through a brutal combination of terror, expropriation and economic depression.

What motivated me to write this book were the questions that people would often ask me concerning the spirit and soul. What are the differences between these two entities, and where do they go after death? Nonetheless, I have decided to write about this topic in a systematic, logical, and methodical means using the Holy Scriptures as the source of information. While reading this book, it would be very beneficial to study the Scriptures so that you can have a general understanding. Along with my research, I have included chapters and verses for your convenience. I pray and bless everyone who reads this book. God bless you and shalom.
