    About this ebook

    Ralph Martin had such high ideals when he left his comfortable life as an assistant pastor in a well-to-do parish to work as a missionary to the poor in the war-torn Central American country of El Salvador. Caught up in the conflicting ideologies of the tyrannical government, the corrupt Church hierarchy, and the insurgents, he witnesses the deaths of those he holds dear and barely escapes with his life. Disillusioned, he abandons his faith and the priesthood to work in construction. His redemption comes through his deep love for Phyllis, a divorcee with three young children.

      The Education of Mrs. R.
