Product Details
- 2016 CPA Book Awards Winner! 3rd Place, Biography categoryThe shepherd cannot run at the first sign of danger. - Fr. Stanley Francis RotherFr. Stanley Rother was true to his word. He did not run. And was martyred at the age of 46.Fr. Stanley arrived in Guatemala in 1968, and immediately identified with his parishioners' simple, farming lifestyle. He learned their languages, prepared them for the Sacraments, and cared for their needs. Fr. Stanley, or Padre Francisco as he was called by his beloved Tz'utujil Indians, had found his heart's calling.After nearly a decade, the violence of the Guatemalan civil war found its way into the peaceful village. Disappearances, killings, and danger became daily occurrences, but despite this unrest Fr. Stanley remained hard at work, building a farmer's co-op, a school, a hospital, and the first Catholic radio station, used for catechesis. In early 1981, his name was on a death list, so he returned to Oklahoma and was warned not to return. But he could not abandon his people, so he went back, and made the ultimate sacrifice for his faith. Pray for us that we may be a sign of the love of Christ for our people, said Fr. Stanley, that our presence among them will fortify them to endure these sufferings in preparation for the coming of the Kingdom.Also available in Spanish.

Saints Editorial Review
**** "The Shepherd Who Didn't Run: Blessed Stanley Rother, Martyr from Oklahoma" offers a poignant and thoughtful biography of a remarkable man who dedicated his life to serving the marginalized in Guatemala. María Ruiz Scaperlanda skillfully presents Stanley Rother not as a flawless saint, but as a deeply human figure, grappling with his limitations alongside his profound love and commitment to his parishioners. Readers are drawn into Rother's world as they learn about his transformation from a determined farm boy to a dedicated priest, whose tenacity allowed him to master the complexities of the Tz'utujil language and connect deeply with the local community. Critically acclaimed for its clear, unembellished Prose, the book embraces a narrative style that resonates with authenticity. Reviewers appreciate that the author steers clear of hagiography, instead displaying a rich understanding of Rother's character—his quiet strength, his challenges, and his firm convictions in the face of violence and oppression. The narrative details not only his spiritual journey but also the socio-political landscape of Guatemala, making it a multifaceted read. Readers report feeling a personal connection to Rother through Scaperlanda's storytelling, often reflecting on their own faith and commitment to service after engaging with his life story. This biography is described as both inspiring and moving, encouraging readers to reflect on their own roles in social justice and missionary work. Rother's legacy, marked by his ultimate sacrifice, is framed as a call to action for current and future generations. For those interested in the intersection of faith, social justice, and personal dedication, "The Shepherd Who Didn't Run" stands out as a compelling read that honors the life and mission of a true shepherd who loved and served his people till the end. **
