Living Under the Volcano

by: Christine Hailes Perillo with Vivien Culver



What made a young woman think she could take the gospel to hardened men in some of the most depressing and dehumanising conditions of the world?

The sudden darkness, sulphurous ash and thick mud that rained down from Mount Pinatubo was a graphic symbol of the depravity and corruption that Chrissy Perillo faced when she travelled alone to the Philippines. Slight of frame and inexperienced in the ways of the world, she walked into prisons where even the guards feared for their lives, and she faced authorities who would not balk at murder to meet out ‘justice’.
