    About this audiobook

    Activists Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove show how prayer and action must go together. Their exposition of key Bible passages provides concrete examples of how a life of prayer fuels social engagement and the work 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 you hope to see God change society, you must be an ordinary radical who prays-and then is ready to become the answer to your own prayers.

      WE CHRISTIANS DO THE GOSPEL an awful disservice. We look down our noses at a skeptic’s sin or frown on a sister’s misstep, so easily forgetting the grace we receive every day. I was recently not pleased with my husband. My displeasure was fueled in p

      Definitely need to reread this sometime -- felt like there was a crazy amount of information given in such a small book.
