Product Description
by David Trimble (Author)
How do we find hope in the world, when hatred, injustice, war, and climate change threaten our very survival? The author's journey as a social justice activist and spiritual seeker offers inspiration for readers to build their own practices of hope. The author challenges the spiritual poverty of materialist individualism, which threatens all life on the planet by the actions of its dominant species. A vision of transforming global culture emerges from the memoir's stories of love, loss, yearning, and redemption. Activism and spiritual search converge in the vision of a culture grounded in the universality of human spirituality, a vision that does not descend into religious particularism. The author encourages readers to build alliances across differences to bring forth our common fundamental spiritual legacy of love, justice, gratitude, and awe.
