Description:

"Activists Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove show how prayer and action must go together. Their exposition of key biblical passages provides concrete examples of how a life of prayer fuels social engagement and a life of justice. Phrases like "give us this day our daily bread" and "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors" take on new meaning when applied to feeding the hungry or advocating for international debt relief." "If we hope to see God change society, we must be ordinary radicals who pray - and then are ready to become the answers to our own prayers."--BOOK JACKET.
