false 2059845 4 <p> What will it take to solve the biggest issues of our time: extreme and needless poverty, global warming and environmental degradation, terrorism and the endless cycle of violence, racism, human trafficking, health care and education, and other pressing problems? While Washington offers only the politics of blame and fear, Jim Wallis, the man who changed the conversation about faith and politics, has traveled the country and found a nation hungry for a politics of solutions and hope. He shows us that a revival is happening, as people of faith and moral conviction seek common ground for change. </p> <p> Wallis also reminds us that religious faith was a driving force behind our greatest national reforms, such as the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement. These "great awakenings" happened periodically at crucial times in our nation's history to propel us toward the common good. The time is ripe for another movement that will transform this country. With <i>The Great Awakening</i>, Wallis helps us rediscover our moral center and provides both the needed inspiration and a concrete plan to hold politics accountable and find solutions to our greatest challenges. </p> 2065028 1 2 2008 The Great Awakening: Reviving Faith & Politics in a Post-Religious Right America total:110|5:24|4:42|3:33|2:9|1:2| 110 407 285 39 5 2 false false Thu Jul 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 26 10:43:56 -0800 2008 Thu Jul 31 06:43:36 -0700 2008
