Sometimes What We Need Most Is What We Fear Most

Times change and situations seem to change, but there is still a great need for prophets, for Gods ambassadors, to stand up and be counted. Who will dare to be Paul the Apostle today, or Dorothy Day, or Francis of Assisi, or Dietrich Bonhoeffer? Who will dare, when God calls, to say, Here I am, Lord. Send me?
from the Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Meet twelve fascinatingat times, intimidatingChristian change agents who were unafraid to ask what God would have them do in the face of lifes realitiesand unafraid to go ahead and do it. Their words and actions challenged the status quo, and in so doing they showed the face of Jesus to the Church and to the world.

Whether calling us to live simply in the name of Jesus, showing the way to genuine peacemaking, or exemplifying the true meaning of courage, the legacies of these blessed troublemakers continue to inspire us today … if we let them.
