Description
In this revised edition of a highly acclaimed book, Jim Wallis charges the church today with limiting the good news of Jesus to private, personal faith. He calls for a deeper, more radical conversion that tackles the great issues of our time. He is practical and specific in spelling out what this can mean. He shows how world poverty and terrorism raise issues that go to the heart of what Christian faith is. Jim Wallis is no armchair writer, but has lived among the poor, and been imprisoned many times for his stand against injustice. His book is a trumpet call to real, living Christianity.
