From the first outline, it was my hope that Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street would start a conversation about the deeper roots of this economic crisis, how we lost our way, and how to find it again.
The book tries to provide "A Moral Compass for the New Economy."
Yes, we need an economic recovery—but
we also need a moral recovery. Sure, we all want to know when the recession will end. But it is more important to ask,
"How will this crisis change us?"
We cannot go back to business as usual, because it is business as usual
that got us into this mess. We need to replace what is "normal" with a "new normal." Rediscovering Values asks some of the most challenging moral questions about where we went wrong as individuals, communities, and as a nation.
I wanted our extended Sojourners community to be the first to hear about the book and be the ones to start
leading this new conversation. If our friends, readers, and supporters are the first ones to buy the book, you will
help put it on the bestseller lists and, most importantly, move it to the front of the bookstores, where others will most
easily see it. That's what you did for God's Politics and The Great Awakening.
Help start
the public conversation about values that we all need now. And start one yourself—on your street. Click here to learn more about Rediscovering Values.
