About this title

Synopsis

Based on his experiences traveling and working as founder and Executive Director of the Center for the Church and Global AIDS, Donald E. Messer presents 52 ways people from all walks of life can make a difference in this important cause. His suggestions range from big to small and from comfortable to controversial. They include ideas such as talking about AIDS, fighting hunger, digging a well, practicing "zero grazing", and decriminalizing sex. Messer concedes that here are too many needs in the world for one person to solve, but he implores each person to "embrace with passionate commitment at least one task in helping create an AIDS-free world".

"I applaud Don Messer for his practical, creative, and even fun approach to tackling HIV and AIDS prevention. While I cannot heartily endorse all 52 ways in the world of HIV/AIDS prevention there is no such thing as 100% agreement this book will open interesting discussions among those who are seeking realistic steps of engagement in the effort to end AIDS."
