Alfredo Cooper brings us an unusual view from the Presidential Palace as Chaplain during Sebasti�n Pi�era’s first 4 years as President of Chile (2010-2014).Why should it be interesting to an English audience? For starters there must be relatively few accounts ever written from the vantage point of a chaplain in a Presidential Palace. Butlers, yes. But chaplains?- The inner workings of a centre right government in Latin America.- The story of the 33 miners, and their dramatic rescue.- The history of the fast growing evangelical churches, and the 1909 revival.- The beginnings of the of student marches that finally brought the government down.- The hunger strikes that initiated the Mapuche indigenous people’s protests.- The economic boom resulting from a market economy.- A Foreword written by Pi�era himself.These will all ring bells with those interested in history, mission, politics, Latin America, and the advance of the Kingdom of God in unlikely circumstances from the inside of a Presidential Palace. Others will relive the drama of the 33 miners, this time from the unique perspective of what lay behind President Pi�era’s�s motivations and dogged perseverance that defied all reason, and that finally rescued them from certain death. To understand the rise and fall of the first centre right government since the Pinochet years and Chile’s return to democracy you will be helped from Inside the Palace.
