A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Stepping out of ourselves, beyond the walls of the church, and into the thick of humanity to create beloved community.
Drawing on her amazing life experiences, Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell speaks out on the pressing issues that face us today: love, justice, reconciliation, forgiveness and community. With a bold, distinctive voice, this visionary minister asserts that we have the capacity to transcend the barriers that separate us from one another. She poses that ''Who is my neighbor?'' may be the most crucial question in our world where so many are hungry and hurting and weary of war. She calls us to live life fully - not carefully or cautiously, but wholly engaged with the world and with the messiness of humanity. She dares us to act as the people we are called and created to be - to claim our freedom to care, to risk and to step out into the unknown.
Capturing the essence of her wisdom gained from years of world travel and experience, Campbell offers inspiration and challenge for all who would claim their lives as people of hope.
