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. 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 The Great Awakening, 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.
