Valley Forge, PA —The Hispanic population is the fastest growing demographic in the United States. It is also one of the nation’s most committed groups of Christians, with 84% of Latino adults identifying themselves as Christian versus 78% of the total population1. These demographics make The Flavor of Our Hispanic Faith particularly timely and relevant.
Author Karen Valentin grew up like many Hispanic American Christians—attempting to balance her unique cultural, social, and spiritual identities as an American, a Latina, and a Christian. The Flavor of Our Hispanic Faith is a spiritual journey, a warm and honest celebration of the Hispanic American experience involving family, culture, and faith. Stories embody values learned and challenges faced by first-, second-, and third-generation Hispanic Americans as they embrace the culture in which they live without losing the rich traditions of their heritage.
About the Authors:
Karen Valentin is of Puerto Rican heritage and was born in New York City. A graduate of Fordham University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature, she has had devotionals published in Guideposts. She is active in several ministries at Central Baptist Church in Manhattan, and uses The Flavor of Our Hispanic Faith as a discipleship tool.
Rev. Edwin Aymat, MA, is pastor of the First Baptist Church in Irvington, New Jersey and is a former member of the general board of American Baptist Churches USA. He has been an ordained ABC minister for over 40 years.
The Flavor of Our Hispanic Faith is also available in Spanish.
