About this title

Synopsis

*Advance Praise and Reviews*
"A clear eye, a direct style, and doesn't discriminate in her criticism." ― Tui Motu InterIslands Magazine

One of the organizers of the "Nuns on the Bus" campaign shows how faith supports action in a world in great need of both. The chaotic individualism of these times demands a prayer practice that summons a prophetic response in community with those who are marginalized in our fractured economic system and broken world. Hunger for Hope explores the quest for a justice that works for all, and explores what it means to be “holy” in today’s world.
