This book tells the story of Rev Robert Cook's journey to El Salvador to learn about poverty in the lives of the people in the developing world. His self-declared search to understand third world poverty became a decades long learning experience that the poverty lifestyle of the Salvadoran people who became friends who taught him poverty cannot be understood apart from the violence of massacres and murder by death squads that were military strategy that was used against the poor in the 12 year-long civil war. And so, Robert's search to know Salvadoran poverty became a commitment serving as missionary for development of human needs with the Parish Team of the Parish of St. Joseph in Berlin, El Salvador. He continues his work as organizer and fundraiser for A Legacy of Light, a solar electrification project that installs solar electricity for small farm family homes on the Berlin Mountain located in eastern El Salvador. Royalties earned by sales of this book help to fund that solar electrification project.
