It has a perspective and a way of describing Christ that is both new to me and makes a lot of sense.

Faith and the Christian community play extremely important roles in politics- though not in the role our society has tried to put them in the past. This book speaks of the truth and justice many of us have been waiting for. (less)

Microcredit is incredibly effective and sustainable. I wish every grown American knew about this method of helping the poor which they could easily learn about from just two or three of the chapters fromm this book.(less)
