A Personal Journey of Faith and Politics
Soares begins her book by recounting her upbringing in Brazil, where she was exposed to the harsh realities of poverty and inequality. She was drawn to Marxism as a young woman, seeing it as a way to fight for social justice and create a more equitable world. However, as she became more involved in the revolutionary movement, she began to question the materialism and atheism that were central to Marxist ideology.
Questioning Marxism and the Search for Meaning
Soares' doubts about Marxism led her to explore other philosophical and religious traditions. She studied the works of existentialist philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, and she was drawn to the idea of personal freedom and responsibility. She also began to explore Christianity, and she was struck by the message of love and forgiveness that she found in the Gospels.
Conversion to Christianity and a Newfound Faith
After years of searching, Soares eventually converted to Christianity. She found in her new faith a sense of peace and purpose that she had never experienced before. She also found a new understanding of social justice, one that was rooted in love and compassion rather than hatred and violence.
A Call to Action for Social Justice
Soares' conversion to Christianity did not lead her to abandon her commitment to social justice. In fact, she believes that her faith has given her a stronger foundation for fighting for a more just and equitable world. She argues that Christians have a responsibility to work for the poor and oppressed, and she calls on readers to join her in this mission.
