The Time Is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage

The Time Is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage

A beloved nun and social activist offers a soul-stirring guide for all who feel disillusioned and dissatisfied with the power-hungry institutions and systems of this world
Â
â€œBoth a call to arms and a faith-based guide for activists [and] readers disgusted with todayâ€™s political and cultural climate.â€â€”Publishers WeeklyÂ (starred review)
Â
InÂ The Time Is Now,Â Sister Joan Chittisterâ€”a rabble-rousing force of nature for social justice and fervent proponent of personal faith and spiritual fulfillmentâ€”draws on the wisdom of prophets, both ancient and modern, to help us confront the societal forces that oppress and silence the sacred voices among us.Â
Â
Pairing scriptural insights with narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Sister Joan offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment.
Â
For the weary, the cranky, and the fearful, this energizing message invites us to participate in a vision for a world greater than the one we find ourselves in today. This is spirituality in action; this is practical and powerful activism for our times.

Praise for The Time Is Now

â€œFor decades Chittister has been a prolific author and advocate for women and social justice inside and outside the realm of the Catholic Church. Here she shares her perspective on the current state of equity, social justice, and the environment and calls on all Christians to explore the traits of prophets, many of which they can find within themselves . . . offering motivation as well as ways to accomplish change.â€â€”Booklist
Â
â€œA series of short essays to encourage and refresh the spirit of activists . . . applicable to both progressive and conservative Christians. Will appeal to spiritual readers seeking an encouraging book for social justice advocacy.â€â€”Library Journal (starred review)
