61: Ruben Quesada - For Greater Glory

Many people of faith today are asking "What is the price of religious liberty?" In the 1920s many Catholics in Mexico answered this crucial question at the cost of their very lives. The new major motion picture, For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada tells the epic tale of Mexico's heroic struggle for religious freedom in a little-known conflict called the Cristero War - but many questions still remain. Our Guest for this show is the author of the companion book to the film of this story Ruben Quesada. Now you'll go much deeper into the exciting history behind the movie with this fact-filled companion book - and gain important insight into the ongoing fight for religious freedom today.
