It is within America's technical and financial power to help end world hunger in our lifetime, if we set our hearts and minds to the task. Contrary to what many people believe, the world has made measurable advancements against hunger and poverty over the last several decades. But too often the binding constraint on further progress is a simple lack of political will. As a result, one of the most powerful ways to affect change is often the most neglected- political activism. In this powerful and hopeful book, David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and a leading anti-hunger activist, looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and puts a human face on the problem by sharing stories of people who are, quite simply, hungry every day. The problems can seem overwhelming but Beckmann lays out a clear and workable plan for effectively using political channels to make great progress. He not only challenges us to get involved, he shows us how. It is no less than our call to do so.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This award-winning title deserves acclaim in the conscience driven pursuit of our world being freed from poverty. Around hunger, poverty and the surrounding political, faith and relational dynamics, Beckmann is masterful, inspiring and thorough as a guide. This pastor-economist offers rare and unique insights underpinning his core conviction that the worlds needs could be served through sustainable (American) generous action. The three-part structure is refreshingly accessible in terms of placing the present context, the future longed for and then the practical ways in which Beckmann would steer us there, together. Hopeful and full of practically rooted optimism!
