The Story of Ada was fueled by a yearning to understand more deeply who Ada really is beyond external appearances. From early adolescence to maturity, multiple dreams formed a hidden current of energy behind many of Adas professional activities, dreams which kept whispering their messages of something moreeven when, for lack of understandingshe ignored them while recording three volumes. Sparked by the comment of a friend, Ada, in her retirement years, went on a relentless inner quest during which she realized that her dreams were, all along, a subconscious spiritual lifeline, supporting her on her lifes journey and revealing hidden aspects of herself which had inhibited her soul growth. Her arduous explorations culminated in an illuminating discovery of her personal elusive why of so many dreams. A blueprint for others to understand dreams as expressions of loving grace. Carolyn Tricomi, PhD Applause and congratulations! An amazing job of collecting dreams and tracking Adas growth! Connie Kaplan, PhD An amazing document of deep, symbolic, and spiritual experience.

U.S. Hispanic/Latino voices have emerged in the last ten years to become one of the strongest and most creative theological movements in the Americas. Fully ecumenical and organized in systematic, collaborative framework, this major volume features Hispanic theology's sources (the Bible, church history, cultural memory, literature, oral tradition, pentecostalism), loci (urban barrios, Puerto Rico, exile, liberation, social sciences, Latina feminists), and rich and vigorous expressions (mujerista theology, popular religion, theopoetics). Hispanic/Latino Theology not only celebrates the full flowering of U.S. Latino work, it also splendidly reveals the exciting possibilities and future shape of contextual theologies in close touch with the daily realities of struggling people.
