Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Jim Wallis urges listeners to survive the economic crisis through moral recovery and embrace hard times as an opportunity to transform themselves from the inside out.

Whether it’s your own loss or that of friends and neighbors, the economic crisis has impacted every household. We are consumed with the ramifications of lost jobs, house foreclosures, destroyed savings, and insecure futures. But lying beneath the surface of these fearful and uncertain times is a deficit with implications even more destructive to our culture than the current crisis of the depressed market.

Employing anecdotes as well as political and cultural insights, Wallis emboldens listeners to make “neighborly” and community choices to help those in their personal sphere of influence. Wallis maintains that only within such spiritual and moral choices will we find the truly significant answers to our economic recession. As we rediscover eternal values, our nation and our world will find the personal and cultural transformation it desperately needs.

Jim Wallis is helping to restore my faith in Christianity. Christian preacher, speaker, and CEO of Sojourners magazine, Wallis is both a Christian AND a liberal.

NPR interviewed the author a few weeks ago and I loved the interview. I downloaded it and had my husband listen to it and we enjoyed it so much. I immediately reserved the book from the library (glad I didn't buy it). It was a disappointment. My recommendation is to skip the book and just listen to......more

Excellent read on what is wrong with our country's state of business. Highly recommend it. One caveat: it's a macro level discussion with some micro useful suggestions. Not a practical use book. More high level.......more

Goodreads review by Chuck on July 01, 2015

I read Jim Wallace to keep myself honest. Although we share the same faith we interpret world situations much differently and see very different solutions to the problems the world faces. I often find myself at odds with Jim Wallace’s approach because he equates public responsibility with political......more

Goodreads review by Susan on May 05, 2010

Genre: Christian but only cites scripture on occasion. This is an amazing book, pointing out how the rich have gotten richer (e.g., the CEOs of Fortune 400s own 50% of America's wealth; the CEO of WalMart makes a paltry $17.5 million a year, so earns in every 2 weeks what the average WalMart worker......more
