"Daniel Castelo -- Seattle Pacific University and Seminary ""People continue to associate Latino Christian identity as primarily Roman Catholic, but this work by Juan Martínez highlights it as also Protestant--and significantly so. Given how the story of Latino/a Protestants has been relatively understated, Martínez's book fills a major void, exposing readers to large-scale developments, important nuances, and a host of figures, groups, and events. . . . A wonderful resource and a timely, reliable guide."" Gabriel Salguero -- National Latino Evangelical Coalition ""For far too long, the rich contributions of Hispanic Protestants in the United States have been ignored. Beyond a facile caricature of Latino Protestantism, Martínez's narrative is a necessary and powerful unearthing of the deep histories and diverse contributions of one of the fastest growing and most influential groups in American Christianity."""
