Reviews

[Bill]

A short introduction to four incredible people who see Christianity not just in terms of saving souls but rather as providing a prophetic voice to make the world a better place. These champions of social justice are some of the people that have allowed me to feel okay about calling myself a Christian again after years of agnostic wandering....3.45 Martinie glasses.
