Description:... Seeking an understanding of believers' perspectives, evangelical Christian Bomann studied a poor barrio in Colombia as a participant researcher in the mid-1990s, asking why those raised in a Catholic culture convert to a minority religion and how they maintain their faith despite hardships. The author is director of a non-profit organization which mobilizes churches to help the needy. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
