I noticed them from far off and was afraid we would find another cadaver in the road. . . . As we drew near, the vultures reluctantly flew to a nearby fence; I realized hundreds of yellow and white butterflies danced in that same area. We passed through their graceful flight.\"\" Classen shares her search for meaning amid the life-and-death contradictions symbolized by the vultures and the butterflies. Vultures shadow a decade that begins with her mother's death, sees her enter El Salvador's agony, and ends with her father's death. Yet butterflies also dance as Classen finds within the darkness a God who turns death into life and weakness into strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597523929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.06w x 0.41d","brand":"Susan Classen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39991877992629,"sku":"9781597523929","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ecad3b98-1883-41b6-a58b-26461f1cfec6.jpg?v=1620705952","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/vultures-and-butterflies-living-the-contradictions-9781597523929","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
