A friend of mine recently directed me to the website for Ending Hunger Now: A Challenge To Persons Of Faith, and recommended the book to me. In the book, George McGovern, Bob Dole, and Donald E. Messer share their conviction that ending hunger is a religious imperative and a human priority. Writing for congregations and individuals of faith, they appeal to the biblical, theological and ethical foundations of action against hunger. Informative, inspiring, and filled with practical suggestions and discussion questions, the book encourages personal involvement and political commitment to the cause.
Here’s an excerpt from the foreword by Bill Clinton:
“This book makes an important argument about hunger that all concerned citizens should heed: hunger is not just a problem for politicians. We all have an ethical and moral obligation to help people who are suffering. Ending Hunger Now is an appeal to people of faith to meet this moral challenge with concrete action.”
As I’ve said before, I’m not a religious person myself, but I recognize the help provided by religious organizations in the fight on hunger. This book and the website on which it’s located, are perfect examples of this.
You can buy Ending Hunger now on Amazon.
