Hope Unraveled - Richard C. Harwood

$16.00

In Hope Unraveled, Harwood argues that we are not a nation divided between red and blue, urban and rural, or sacred and secular, but rather, we are a nation in retreat.  This retreat has led Americans away from Public square into close knit circles of family and friends, and yet the public square is where we address the fundamental problems facing our communities and our nation.  Join Harwood as he explores the depth of the people’s retreat and reveals the alternate path of possibility and hope for public life.

Burch, Jr.

A book of inspiration and integrity, Soul of a Citizen is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life- powerlessness and cynicism.  In his evocative style, Paul Loeb tells moving stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement.  Through their wise and powerful lessons, we are compelled to move from passivity to participation.  The reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life.
