Seven Ways to Change the World
Reviving Faith and Politics
Jim Wallis
Forewords by President Jimmy Carter, and Tim Costello
‘I strongly believe that faith matters and that it can make a
difference, not only in our personal lives but also in our
world... Faith can provide the fire, the passion, the
strength, the perseverance and the hope necessary for
social movements to win, and to change politics.’ - Jim Wallis

In Seven Ways to Change the World , Jim Wallis argues
that politics has failed to solve the biggest issues of our
time: extreme and needless poverty, global warming and
environmental degradation, terrorism and the endless
cycle of violence, racism, human trafficking, health and
education, respect for human life and the crisis in families
and parenting.
Whatever happened to the 'common good'? Writing out
of a US context but applicable to the wider world, Wallis
helps us rediscover our moral centre and infuses us with
the inspiration and passion we need to chart a new course
and build the kind of movements that change politics.
