Subject: Claiborne and Perkins lead the way in a move to change the world as the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus. The authors craft a timely message for ordinary people willing to take radical steps to see real change happen.Subject: Shane Claiborne and John Perkins know the hopes and longings of this age. One is young; the other is decades older. One is a self-proclaimed reformed redneck who now lives in the inner city and has become a voice for compassionate change; the other is an evangelical African-American voice for civil rights who once was almost beaten to death by police in Mississippi, and went on to counsel three presidents and launch a reconciliation movement. You would be hard pressed to find a more unlikely duo, yet Claiborne and Perkens now lead the way towards freedom for all. In a world hungry for radical hope, their stories, lessons learned and wisdom will guide us as we walk down the rugged road to another world. Followers of Christ will not only be inspired, but also catalyzed into being the hanfeeteets and heart of real change --
