Authors Adam Bucko and Matthew Fox encourage us to use our talents in service of compassion and justice and to move beyond our broken systems—economic, political, educational, and religious—discovering a spirituality that not only helps us to get along, but also encourages us to reevaluate our traditions, transforming them and in the process building a more sacred and just world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncorporating the words of young activist leaders culled from interviews and surveys, the book provides a framework that is deliberately interfaith and speaks to our profound yearning for a life with spiritual purpose and for a better world. Each chapter is construed as a dialogue between Fox, a 72-year-old theologian, and Bucko, a 37-year-old spiritual activist and mentor to homeless youth. As we listen in on these familiar yet profound conversations, we learn about Fox and Bucko's own spiritual journeys and discover a radical spirituality that is inclusive, democratic, and relevant to the world we live in today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Mona Eltahawy\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Andrew Harvey\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Invitation to Occupy Your Conscience\u003cbr\u003e1.
