Loved it. A real page-turner. Rids us of the notion of the "corporate duopoloy" by dismantling the Democrats and Republicans for the rudderless minority (now majority) and the demogogues they are, respectively. Instead, places primary focus on putting the Christ back in Christian AND Christian values: stewardship of the environment, public health, affordable housing, concern for developing nations, livable wages, fair trade, etc. Wallis makes it clear that we can, indeed, be the change we are waiting for.

Wonderful for me. I practice "centering prayer"--a type of prayer that (eventually) might be considered "contemplative"--and found Rohr's discussion of the bases of (and practical techniques for improving upon) these prayer forms exceedingly insightful. He was instructive without being pedantic; accessible without being cornball. I checked the book out from the library and now want my own copy.
