Summary
Named by Time magazine as one of the "50 Faces for America's Future, " Jim Wallis' advice is increasingly sought by leading politicians (including George W. Bush) who want to tap into the growing power and the emerging importance of faith-based organizations. Faith Works is a genre-busting book that includes elements of personal memoir, spiritual vision, social strategy, politics, and theology. Each of its 15 chapters conveys a practical commitment designed to compel readers to put their faith into action and make a difference in the world.
