Synopsis

You know the names Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, Nelson Mandela. But have you heard of Roy Bourgeois, Neta Golan, or Sulak Sivaraksa? How about Vandana Shiva, Daniel and Philip Berrigan, or Janusz Korczak? They, and the dozens more spiritual activists in this book, are the heirs to that great tradition of faith-based activism. The spiritual activists in this book are environmentalists, gay-rights activists, peace workers, land reformers, and child advocates. They are Buddhists and Catholics, Hindus and Muslims, Baha'is, Jews, and Quakers. The stories of these modern-day prophets of positive change will inspire you, and the resources provided in each chapter will help you put your own beliefs to work in the world.
