Omschrijving

What is truth? Where do we find it? And will it transform our lives? Join Sharon Rezac Andersen on her 1983 study tour to Nicaragua and discover the answers to these questions. As the United States government undermined the Nicaraguan Sandinista regime by supplying arms to the contra rebels, author Sharon Rezac Andersen and her mentor, Sister Margie Tuite, journeyed to Nicaragua as ambassadors with the largest US ecumenical movement, Church Women United. Despite the dangers of traveling in a civil war zone, they met the challenge with a desire to seek the truth from those living in the country. Now you can journey with Rezac Andersen through The Burden of Knowing, meeting the people and seeing the places that influenced her life. Read how the Nicaraguans wept over the corpses of slain youth martyrs who were killed by the contras while protecting precious coffee crops. See how broken lives were being restored under the Sandinista regime, and experience the spirit of hope that was being ignited among the Nicaraguan poor through the many positive programs by their government. The Burden of Knowing is a tribute to Sister Margie Tuite, whose tenacious effort to seek peace with justice opened Rezac Andersen's eyes to the possibility of creating peace on Earth. According to Rezac Andersen, to experience a sense of truth in oneself is to understand that all are connected into a greater wholeness -- the world and the entire human family. Rezac Andersen's hope is that after reading The Burden of Knowing you will examine more than one source for accurate information, realizing that media "infotainment" has no merit or validity when trying to determine what is true.
