Nobody Told Me That the Road Would Be Easy: Devotions for People Working for Justice and Peace

by Floyd Thompkins Jr.

Overview

An accessible spiritual tool of support to those who are engaged in the enterprise of working for justice and peace in the world. This work is often taxing in many ways, including spiritually. The intense work of organizing, speaking, seeking funding, and administrating the people and systems that are necessary to make an impact can easily obscure the original passion and mission behind these activities. Concurrent with this danger of a loss of focus is the presence of pains, disappointments, and inevitable betrayals that can diminish one's capacity to experience or express joy.
