The world is in tatters and we're surrounded by systems that don't work. We desperately want to help but where do we begin? It's not surprising that many of us don't know what we can do. And those of us who try and take action often feel burnt out by the enormity of the task ahead. For activists both new and seasoned, this book offers hope and illuminates the way ahead. Featuring contributions from Shane Claiborne, Lisa Sharon Harper, Krish Kandiah, Sam Wells and many more, The Hopeful Activist is full of fresh wisdom and practical advice to help you play your part in bringing God's justice and restoration to the world around you. 'An invaluable guide. . . I wish I had been able to read this book twenty years ago!'Ruth Valerio
