Water Spring in the Desert: The Hidden History of Ciudad Juarez & the Pass of the North (Colección sobre Historia de Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua México) Paperback – October 17, 2024

This book seeks to fill a significant gap in the history of the Paso del Norte region, which has remained largely overlooked by historians and academics for over 200 years. While many historical accounts jump from the colonial period (1659) to the visit of President Benito Juárez (1865), they neglect nearly two centuries of effort—often marked by struggle and sacrifice—that shaped the region's development.Focusing on the establishment of the Catholic Church in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, the book delves into both ecclesiastical and lay contributions to the formation of the Christian community. It highlights the collective efforts of religious figures, priests, bishops, and ordinary people whose dedication enabled the growth of the Church and the community it served. By bringing to light this often-ignored period, the work provides a more complete understanding of the region's religious and social history. Read more
