McLaren's book is a methodical look at what must change and how it could change starting with people of faith if we all make a choice:

A choice to stop believing that the equity system is about a few getting more and start believing that all should have enough.

A choice to stop believing that prosperity can happen without sustainability and start believing that what we do to our environment and each other matters for our future and to God.

A choice to stop believing that funding security will keep us safe and start believing that making the world a better place to live, for everyone and everything, will eliminate the need for war.

This philosophy though, is not a simple choice between capitalism and socialism, democrat and republican, developed and underdeveloped, rich and poor, good and bad. The yin and yang of the world is broken down in many shades of many colors. Black and white won't do anymore. I thought the book was very good, but more important, it's to the point and relevant. No, I don't agree with everything the author believes, though I do agree with most and I most certainly agree with this book and the solutions presented within. ]]>
