An invitation to reclaim our worth as persons created in the image of God.
Both scholarly and personal, Curtiss Paul De Young’s profound public journey has intersected again and again with social realities of injustice and alienation. He graciously shares here his compelling story of hope and reconciliation. New insights and new challenges arise as he encounters Desmond Tutu, Malaak Shabazz, Rabbi Menachem Froman, Sojourner Truth, Samuel Ruiz Garcia, Lani Guinier, Cain Hope Felder, James Earl Massey, Mary Mc Leod Bethune, Ronald Takaki, Samuel Hines, Howard Thurman, and many others. The hallmarks of De Young’s engaging narrative are spiritual transformation, innovative leadership, and creative courage.
